Can someone please advise why growfs would return:
growfs: we are not growing (8388607->4194303) ?


I have a FreeBSD 7.2 server in a VM.
I initially had 5 x 4G disks

Created a raid
graid3 label datavol da2 da3 da4 da5 da6

I upgraded them to 5 x 8g disks

swopped out the virtual disks one at a time

graid3 remove -n 0 datavol
graid3 insert -n 0 datavol da2
[wait]
......
graid3 remove -n 4 datavol
graid3 insert -n 4 datavol da6
[wait]

graid3 stop datavol
growfs /dev/raid3/datavol

error message: growfs: we are not growing (8388607->4194303) ?

fdisk /dev/raid3/datavol
******* Working on device /dev/raid3/datavol *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=3D1044 heads=3D255 sectors/track=3D63 (16065 blks/cyl)

Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=3D1044 heads=3D255 sectors/track=3D63 (16065 blks/cyl)

fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found
fdisk: /boot/mbr: length must be a multiple of sector size


what am I missing ?
