-from bug 5665
-The newer e2fs tools are smart enough that if you use the resize2fs tool to do
-the resizing with a mounted filesystem it will do the same thing ext2online
-used to do.  They just made it so instead of having two tools you have one
-smart tool.
-That being said the documentation may need to be updated to handle the sme8
-case.  However there are a lot of enhanced things you can do with the new tools
-in 8 that you can't do in 7.  I'd like to see an entire new page explaining how
-to expand/grow your filesystem on 8 instead of just adding notes for where
-things are different.
--03-06: added a warning box to RAID1 -> RAID5 conversion: note taken from http://www.arkf.net/blog/?p=47
-[[User:Stephdl|Stephdl]] ([[User talk:Stephdl|talk]]) 05:50, 4 February 2013 (MST) i need your help for correcting my english grammar, please be indulgent...
-i have tested all the command in a virtualbox, it works as expected.
-====Adding another Hard Drive Later (Raid 1 array only)====
-ENSURE THAT THE NEW DRIVE IS THE SAME SIZE OR LARGER AS THE CURRENT DRIVE(S)
-* Shut down the machine
-* Install drive as master on the second IDE channel (hdc)
-* Boot up
-* Log on as admin to get to the admin console
-* Go to #5 Manage disk redundancy
-It should tell you there if the drives are syncing up. Don't turn off the server until the sync is complete or it will start from the beginning again. When it is done syncing it will show a good working raid1.
-If the Manage disk redundancy page gives the message "The free disk count must equal one" and "Manual intervention may be required", then you likely will have additional hard drives that need to be disconnected while the RAID is set up. An external USB drive will have this effect, and should be unplugged.
-{{Note box| the addition of another drive is restricted to a RAID 1 degraded, i.e. when the system has been installed with a single drive (/dev/hda and /dev/hdc or their SATA equivalent). The addition of a third drive to a RAID 1 '''(i.e. a spare)''' is not recognized by the system. therefore you need to use the '''mdadm''' command line}}
-{{Note box|I suppose the system is installed with a Raid1 functional on two disk sda and sdb and you want to add another disk sdc as a spare (for use automatically if one disk of the array will fail)}}
-first we need to give to sdc the same table of partition as sda or sdb
- sfdisk -d /dev/sda > sfdisk_sda.output
- sfdisk /dev/sdc < sfdisk_sda.output
-then we need to add the news partitions to the existings arrays
- mdadm --add /dev/md1 /dev/sdc1
- mdadm --add /dev/md2 /dev/sdc2
-to verify, you can see the return of commands below
- mdadm --detail /dev/md1
- mdadm --detail /dev/md2
