And that's where the difficultly may lie. If the existing storage volume the filesystem sits on doesn't end exactly on a stripe width boundary, you're going to have to offset the start of the new storage volumes part way into the first stripe width in the volumes to ensure that when the filesystem expands, then end of the first stripe width in the new volume is exactly where the filesystem expects it to be. Other than that, there shouldn't be any filesystem level concerns about doubling the size of the filesystem capacity via growfs. Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
