(I do not know it is proper place to ask these questions.)
1.
man mdadm has some info about CONTAINER-s.

I think, that I understand how to use it, but I cannot imagine use case
of containers.
Can someone explain whent it is desirable to use containers, especially
DDF instead of free mdX devices?

2. there is md0 (raid1) with two disk in it. It is PV for lvm.
I want to extend space by adding  another two disks. Is it possible somehow
extent md0? Or the only way is to create second md device, and assign it
to volume group?

KJ
