Hi list, Have a question about growing a RAID. Here is the setup. I have a RAID 0 or RAID 5 wich to linux shows up as a /dev/sda with 250GB of space. I have LVM and a reiserfs on /dev/sda. Now I put in a new drive on the RAID and grow it to 500BG. So /dev/sda went from 250GB to 500GB. I can't get LVM to see the new size of the drive. I think this might be because I did not use fdisk to create a partition first and just used pvcreate on /dev/sda. Can some one let me know what the best way to support device growth in linux is? I know pvresize is not implemented yet so how would one do this? thank you Rene
