I recently had a drive in a RAID1 array fail. Luckily, both drives were under warrantee, so I got them both replaced with larger ones as the failed drive is no longer manufactured.
Running an Adaptec 2100s, the rebuild was simple - pull the failed drive, put in a good one, wait. Then I pulled the good old drive, swapped in the new larger drive, and rebuilt again.
Problem is of course that I'm not getting the extra capacity of the drives as the array table still has info about the smaller drives. Is there anyway to change the array table so that I can make use of the unused space, or will I have to put back in the old drive, zap the array table, set up a new array, and copy back?
