Hello,

I have and existing FreeBSD 5.4 box with 2 6GB hard drives in a RAID 1 
mirror using gmirror. Due to physical space restrictions I cannot put 
more drives into this box and yet I need more physical drive space. I 
have 2 blank 40GB drives to replace my 2 current 6GB drives. I broke the 
mirror and inserted one 40GB drive into the mirror and removed the 
remaining 6GB drive. So, now I have a 40GB drive with only 6GB's of 
space on it and 34GB's of unused space. I have and existing mount point 
in the 6GB of space called /data. I would like to extend the slice and 
add the 34GB of unused space to the current /data mount point. Does 
someone even "extend" an UFS slice? Or do I create a new slice in the 
unused section and somehow merge the existing slice's /data with the new 
one? Or am I missing something rudimentary? Any direction would be 
appreciated.


Thank You.
Peter Clark
