Possible? Well, you can see how backlogged I am from dredging a month old thread up, but.... Is there currently a mechanism for increasing the size of an ffs filesytem? Specific application: I'm writing a video playback system. Storing lots of big mpeg2 files on a RAID system which will let me add a disk and add it to the array. Now I want to grow the fs so I don't end up with N little file systems instead of one big one.
