Lovely. However, I've just tried this again on a similar machine and have grown the array. However, I've just noticed that the RAID5 array has an lvm volume group on it with two logical volumes on that. So now, I'd like to grow the volume group so I can grow one of the logical volumes and grow the filesystem therein. I realise this is the raid group but has anyone come across how to do this? Gavin
