Hi all, I'm trying a method for increasing the size of a geom raid5 volume (by replacing each disk one by one by bigger disk). Increasing a graid5 volume works great when I'm using directly the volume (for example: /dev/raid5/volumename) without MBR or GPT partition. But I'm using a GPT partition on this graid5 volume... Then how to increase the size of a GPT partition ? (I've read the man page of gpt but I didn't find a solution). For the question: why using GPT over a graid5 volume ? It's because I want to use the more "compliant" method for creating filesystem on a hard drive or geom volume (and some user meet problem with fdisk and disks larger than 2TB). Thanks, Olivier
