In line with the principle of "release early", following are 5 patches
against md in 2.6.latest which implement reshaping of a raid5 array.
By this I mean adding 1 or more drives to the array and then re-laying
out all of the data.
I think my question is already answered by this, but...

Would this also allow changing the size of each raid device? Let's say I currently have 160 GB x 6, could I change that to 300 GB x 6 or am I only allowed to add more 160 GB devices?
