It did not work, but not I can’t stop it.

mdadm: Cannot get exclusive access to /dev/md0:Perhaps a running process, mounted filesystem, or active volume group?

Thoughts?

Thanks for the guide!

I am only seeing half of my drive capacity. I am running Plex Media Server on Centos7.

The way I initially set this up was I use a 120gb SSD for the OS, I use a second 120gb SSD for transcoding video. I initially set this server up with Software RAID 5 using 12 old 500gb hard drives, after having at least 2 drives fail, I ripped them all out and purchased 2 new 4TB WD drives.

With some help, we cleared out the software raid info and got the server ready for the 2 new drives. I ran through this guide step by step and at the end, I see 4TB of available space. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

I have have been using Linux only on my home PC and via virtualbox labs, but I must admin that through this website I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I am feeling more confident to accept a Linux sysadmin job now.

As for Babin you are the main man and I would like you to do a session covering how to get the following right on a virtualbox lab, confirgure DNS, DHCP and VPN for both CentOS and Ubuntu

Thank you all for such an amazing job.

Hi Manoj, I am having the same scenario. I have created a raid 0 setup with 2 disks of 50 GB, now disk has been utilized to 100%. Can you please help which document to follow to add new disks in raid array so that my data will be intact
