I have a system running hardware RAID and want to increase the drive space. The raid contoller will allow me to easily add additional drives into the logical drive array without blowing away the OS and data. Is there is a simple way to get SCO 5.0.5 to see and use the additional space apart from reinstalling the system?

Adding drive space
- Thread starter melt

If you add hard drives then you get more physical space right? This space is part of the same logical drive so therefor if you run divvy you should see unused blocks after the end of your last filesystem.
if this is the case then you should be able to either add a new filesystem on the unused blocks, or increase the size of the last filesystem.
make lots of VERIFIED backups before attempting this.

I considered this but divvy is not dynamic - that is it will not just notice there is more drive space. Divvy is setup during the install and won't go outside of those parameters dynamically. The reason I asked this question is I heard that SCO was working on the ability to notice larger drives but wasn't certain they got it accomplished.
