So in one word I need extra space and a spare disk.
Okay, this is old but I did not see any reply so I figured I would give it
a shot.
First, you need to do one of the two things with this new disk.
1) Add space to your array.
---OR---
2) Add a spare for your array.
Personally, I would suggest you buy two more drives. Then you can have a
5 disk array and one "hot" spare. At a minimum, I believe you would need
one more disk to do both of the tasks that you desire.
