Hi Managers,

our group bought a TripleStor IDE-to-SCSI RAID system some while ago.
Wecouldonly afford to buy 5 hd's with it, so three slots remained unused.

That system works fine, after initialing the RAID system to RAID5, we just did a
format/partition/newfs and mounted it....

Just recently, we decided to buy the "missing" three hd's, they arrived a few
days ago. After plugging them in and re-initializing the array, I have another
LUN available....

But now I don't know how to procede. After rebuilding the /dev and /devices
links, the new disks to do not show up. I checked the existing partition with
'format', it has still the original size.

I would like to merge both LUN's on the array, is this possible? Do I have to
use disksuite?

Thanks for the help, Levent
