I have followed the method advocated by Drew Tomlinson on this list
(October 2002) to create a Vinum volume without losing data.  Everything
worked ok for the first drive... and then I added the second, and grew
the file system using growfs ... and then added the third subdisk to the
plex, and tried to growfs again, and got the following message:


# growfs -N /dev/vinum/data
new file systemsize is: 195366077 frags
Warning: 157556 sector(s) cannot be allocated.

Here's my vinum configuration summary:

I'm running 5.2-RELEASE, with kernel compiled from RELEASE source to
include IPFW.  Fairly standard stuff.  Is something broken or am I doing
something wrong??

Thanks,
Michael.
