Ask the controller

It should have a trigger key at some point in the POST sequence. That is about the only certain way to figure out how the array is really configured.

If it really is RAID0, then pulling any drive will most likely kill the server right there as OS files and swap space are spread across all disks.

One possible experiment is to clone the contents to a 1TB disk and resize the filesystem there. Then replace all disks, build the RAID 1 or 1+0 array and restore the image.

RAID 0 is striping. No fault tolerance. - (Another Scott) - Jan. 5, 2011, 04:21:55 PM EST

Striping gives faster access, too. More info. - (Another Scott) - Jan. 6, 2011, 10:14:39 AM EST
