Increase disk space

[alan147]

Hi

I have a server which is running ou of disk space, it had a pair of mirrored 72Gb discs that have been replaced one at a time to allow the mirror to rebuid. The OS doesn't recognise that the disc space has increased, is there a way that I can use this space?

Thanks

Alan

From what I remember, when I set up a mirrored array, the array size was contained as part of the configuration information. Therefore, even though the physical disk is bigger, the array won't pick up on this automatically.

Here is a link to a reputable source with a how to on changing the size of an array, without using LVM. I haven't tried it, but generally this authors stuff is pretty good.

This is a hardware raid.
