I was originally attaching the results of "gpart show" as a screenshot = because I was working through an internet kvm module on a system several = states away that was booted in standalone mode. But the mailing list = seems to strip off attachments, so I ssh'd into the system in normal = operation to get output of "gpart show" that I can cut and paste here. root@warehouse:/root # gpart show mfid0 =3D> 34 17578327997 mfid0 GPT (10T) [CORRUPT] 34 128 1 freebsd-boot (64k) 162 1048576000 2 freebsd-ufs (500G) 1048576162 16521363328 4 freebsd-ufs (7.7T) 17569939490 8388540 3 freebsd-swap (4G) 17578328030 1 - free - (512B) From: Joseph Mays=20 Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2013 11:47 AM To: freebsd-geom@freebsd.org=20 Subject: Expanding a partition in gpart after increasing the size of an = array. 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 = --- http://www.unibia.com/unibianet/freebsd/resize-your-existing-freebsd-root= -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. Is there a way to tell gpart that the size of the drive has changed?
