I have a freebsd box with an LSI Raid controller in it. It had 4 =
3-terabyte drives configured in an 8TB array. I added a 5th drive and =
built that into the array. Of course, the amount of drive space that =
shows in operation in FreeBSD did not change, presumably because I need =
to resize the partition.

I was trying to follow the partition resizing instructions shown here =

-partitionslice-safely-without-re-installing

but when I do the =E2=80=9Cgpart show =E2=80=9D I don=E2=80=99t see the =
free space. What I do see is a change in the apparent overall size of =
the disk and a set of parititions that don=E2=80=99t add up to the new =
size of the disk.

How should I be going about increasing the size of the partition?
