Hi Admins,
I have a server with an Adaptec 2120S Raid controller. There are were
6 x 174GB disks and one hot spare. I moved the hotspare into the RAID
5 volume and the Adaptec Storage Manager shows the volume has grown
from 681 to 821GB.
My problem is that the OS doesn't see it that way. If I remount the
volume it is still seen as a 681Gb volume.
/dev/sda5 681G 608G 38G 95% /data
It I do fdisk /dev/sda5 doesn't show me the same information, and
doesn't list any size. The filesystem is ext3.
Disk /dev/sda5: 705.4 GB, 705416431104 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 85761 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
When I tried to write the new disk label it failed
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 22: Invalid
argument.
The kernel still uses the old table.
Does anyone know what I need to do to expand the current volume? Is
it possible?
TIA.
Dp.
