[arch-general] Software RAID w/ 4 Drives Fails

[Dwight Schauer]

Can you add a drive to an array after it has been built?

I know you can add a hot spare, or remove a drive and add another, but I did
not think you could increase N, where the size of the array is N-1 * size of
each drive. How is the raid going to know which is data and which is parity?

Of course I could be wrong.
