This provided me exactly what i needed when already having 1 TB Samsung and making a raid 5 with three devices! Only one problem after the last command mdadm --manage /dev/md3 --add /dev/sdh1 i actually did mdadm --manage /dev/md3 --add /dev/sdh without the '1' at the end.. The array is now however recovering. Is this a problem? Can i remote that drive later when the array is clean and not degraded and add it anew correctly? Thanks for the awesome tutorial!
