Array Expansion on Compaq DL360 (G1) 2003-12-10 - By Roald Amundsen
Back
I had 2 9gig drives in this one. I have replaced them with 36gig drives.
That worked fine.
Now I want to use the extra space, but can't seem to understand how. In
windows I can just go into disk manager and see the extra space and
allocate it. But under Redhat 9, even if I reboot, it still says the disk
is only 9 gig..
****** from dmesg
Compaq SMART2 Driver (v 2.4.25)

/dev/ida/c0d0p3 1920 2176 1048560 82 Linux swap
How do I get hold of the extra space?
Compaq have some Array Configuration Utility, but only for RH8 and I
could not get that to work properly. Because it depended on some modules
that were compiled for RH8-kernel.
Any hints would be appreciated :)
