All,

I am running 7.0-Release and am trying to add an additional disk to a
gconcat and expand the ufs onto it. The concat works fine but when I run
growfs I get an error "We are not growing".=20

A couple of things about the setup:
1) 16-hotswap SAS drive bays only 8 contain drives. So figuring this out
will help with future expansions
2) Both consumers are geli encrypted. This is not an option. We are a
financial institution and encryption of data is required. This setup did
work in simulations and expanded with growfs fine.
3) Both consumers run on independent RAID 10 arrays
4) Existing consumer is a slice on the first array. New consumer is the
whole disks. Both are not equal size but I thought gconcat does not
care.

Results:
# gconcat stop data1
# gconcat label data1 /dev/mfid0s3.eli /dev/mfid1.eli
# growfs /dev/concat/data1
growfs: we are not growing (59231653->16315060)

Any ideas?

Thanks,
