Process of expanding an array or migrating an array from one RAID
type to another; changing the

stripe size

of a RAID 0, or moving a

logical device’s

partitions

to other disks.

redundant

The ability of an array to maintain operability when one or more
hardware failures occur. RAID 1 is an example of a redundant array. In
the event of a drive failure, redundant arrays can be restored to normal
operation by replacing the failed drive and rebuilding the array.
