creating new raid set ... strange size difference

Hello Admin Wizards,

System: Tru64 4.0g, storage hardware: SW300 cabinet w/ 2x HSZ40

I had to expand my backup raid set that consisted of 6 disks. So I
deleted the old unit D200 and the raid set R2, added the six disks,
created a new raid set R2 with 12 members and the new Unit D200.
Everything seems fine on controller level; full 20 gigs of storage are
available (before: 10 gigs).

On the server, I did a rmfdmn HSBACKUP, removed the /dev/r(r)z18* files
(these having been the special files for the Backup set), and did a
/dev/MAKEDEV rz18.
New rz and rrz files were created.

I started diskconfig - but behold, there are only 10 Gigs available there.
I wonder what step I have missed and / or where the 10 missing gigs may
have gone ...

Would be thankful for any advice on that.

Thankx a lot
CW
