Problem adding 5th disk to a raid5 array in SME Server 7.3
« on: November 20, 2008, 02:26:17 AM »
Anyone encountered this problem before that can give me a hand? All disks are the same (Samsung F1, 750GB). All disks seem to be recognized during booting (also the new 5th disk). But when I try "manage disk redundancy" it doesn't show up (saying unused devices: <none>).
I have currently only 42GB space left so it is quite urgent!

Did you not see the option to set up that 5th drive when you went in to the manage raid configuration menu ?

Please show:

cat /proc/mdstat
