Re: RAID b/w GPT and NON GPT partition.

Ramadan Kareem Yousuf.

What I would do is shrink partition 5 by 100M then create a new ef02 partition in the freed space. This should be completely safe since it is just a swap partition and contains no permanent data.

Do this on both drives after stopping swap (swapoff) then /dev/md1.

There is no need for RAID on the ef02 partition.

Thanks for the wishing the Ramadan Kareem :) 

Thanks for your tip. however what i am looking is more easy way. as Pascal is saying i already have free space in my new drive and there is no need for shrinking a partition. which is i think dangerous at this point because only 1 drive is left. if i loose the data i have to go back to my archive and restore all the data from my old backup drive which going to be a headache.

so what i am trying to find out if creating a new partition is sufficient that i will choose that route. 

Thanks,

Yousuf
