Hi. I was wondering whether this works to expand a smart array 5i under FreeBSD. Example: I have a DL360 G3 with a smart array 5i and a raid 0+1 consisting of two 36GB physical hotplug drives. The are split into two logical volumes da0 and da1 each with a size of 18GB. - I want to have some additional logical volumes - but no space is left. - Additionally I don't want to loose the data on the raid 0+1. a) hotplug one of the 36GB physical drives and change it with a 147GB hotplug drive. b) rebuild the raid c) hotplug the remaining 36GB drive, also replacing it with a 147GB drive. d) rebuild the array e) enter der array configuration utility and find additional (147GB - 36GB) drivespace available for additional logical volumes.. well, would be nice if it worked :) Cheers, Kai. -- "Jesus was a Crossmaker"
