The current RAID contains 3 disks:

root@penguin2:~# cat /proc/mdstat
md0 : active raid5 sdb1[1] sda1[0] sdg1[4]
/dev/md0         33T   27T  4.2T  87% /export

using /dev/sda,sdb,sdg

The current root and swap is on

# root
/dev/sdd1       393G  121G  252G  33% /
# swap
/dev/sdd5 partition 976M 76.5M   -2

We can therefore add four new disks in slots /dev/sdc,sde,sdf,sdh

penguin2 has no out-of-band and no serial connector right now. That means any work needs to be done on the terminal.
