Hi, currently I have two 180gb drives in a RAID1 with gmirror. Now we need to extend the size so I would like to replace both drives with 500gb drives. Is there a recommend way to do this? I suggested replacing one drive at first and let gmirror set it up to as a 180gb. Then use growfs to extend the last partition this is my /data partition. Or should I use dump/restore and dd to replace? What do I have to keep in mind then? copying metadata and such? What do you suggest? Thanks, Dennis
