Raid5 Question

[marvin51796]

I have a f50 with 3 drives using raid5 setup, I was wondering if you can add a new hard drive to this setup or do you have to tear down everything and rebuilt it with 4 drives. Any comments or suggustions would be appreciated.
thanks

tear down I'm afraid.
is root vg on the array?

No rootvg is on a mirrored set.
Thanks for all your help

ssa-raid ? Adding additional drives? -- you have to rebuild the array. I don't know raidsystems without rebuilding.

Sorry but you will have too rebuild the RAID5 from scratch
