Hi all, I have a software RAID-5 on FC3 box using three disks and utility mdadm. I want to add another disk and extend my partition (ext3) without having to backup, re-create RAID and restore data. I want to do it online if it's possible, but I'm able to unmount the partition if it's necessary. At this time, I do not have LVM partition on top of my RAID. Do I need to create LVM partition to be able to extend the partition?
I think that's about the only way you can really resize a slice (solaris language) Not sure if resize2fs will work like this, I don't think i'd trust playing arund like that on a production system, plus you'd have to unmount it anyway.
