the array over 2 new drives. The expansion is done according to the HP insight but when i do a df -k, i dont see the extra added space. any suggestions? thanks in advance |

I imagine you could create a new mount point to that parition, or ... i dont know. If you were using windows, I could tell you how to do it. Sorry I cant be of more assistance on this. - LC |

There's always the brute force way -- mount another (different) partition, copy over all the existing data, rebuild/repartition the "too-small" partition and go from there.. Certainly not the nicest way to go but it would certainly work if you've got a few hours to spare and some spare disk space as well.. |
