Sorry about that.. Please CC me, I don't seem to be getting any feed from
the list.

Thanks for the link. I've been reading up on others experiences and
documentation seems somewhat thin. Does a mini-HOWTO exist anywhere?
>From what I've read, first raidreconf is used to change the array, then
fsck -f is run to check the product, then the file system resize utility
must be used to change the size of the filesystem on the RAID array. Then it
would probably be a good idea to run fsck -f once more. This should be
sufficient to add more disks to a RAID 5 array and enlarge the filesystem to
take advantage of the larger block device. Am I missing anything?
