We have a Hardware Raid 5, with one partition being LVM.
c0d0p1 Boot Primary Linux ReiserFS
98.71
c0d0p5 Logical Linux ReiserFS
10001.95
c0d0p6 Logical Linux LVM
429302.04

We will be adding additional physical disks to the Raid array as need
dictates - How would I go about making this new free space "available"
for use in the PV?
- Turn off server, add new HD's, boot into HP Top Tools and add the new
drives to the array (Giving additional space).
- cfdisk(or fdisk), delete the data partition(Making note of the
starting cylinder), then recreate the data partition with the same
starting cylinder, but incorporate the new free space.
- pvresize? (I do not seem to have this utility?)
- xfs_growfs
Thanks in advance.
