Hi, I've got a 3-disk 250GB RAID-1 that I use for short term, on the machine backups. It's normally not mounted unless I'm doing a quick save. Unfortunately it's a bit too small these days so I'm therefore going to convert it to a 3-disk RAID-5 which will double it's size.
I'm pretty sure I've got the command set right to do the RAID-1 to RAID-5 conversion, but once it's done I believe the file system itself will still be 250GB so I'll need to resize the file system. In the past I've done this with gparted, which seems to work fine, but this time I was considering doing it at the command line. Does anyone know of a good web site that goes through how to do that? I've browsed around and found different pages that talk about it but my reading looks like they all have minor differences which leaves me a bit worried. Note that the status of the backup is currently good but if I happen to lose the data on that partition it won't likely be a big problem. I'm just trying to get to the end of the process without losing it if possible. Thanks, Mark
