Linux is cool :-)

Another example why I think Linux is cool.
My discs (a raid-1 set, aka mirroring) was getting full. I added a bigger drive, marked one of the mirror discs as faulty and Linux auto-added the new drive. I did the same trick with another new drive. Next I removed the old drives.

Now I had 2 new drives in a raid-1 set with large partitions but the same old filesystem. First lets resize the raid array….
