OT: how to increase RAID space

[Brian A. Seklecki]

UFS/FFS probably wont deal well with the underlying "logical"-physical
disk size changing (bytes/section, number of sectors, etc.).  Even if it
was pure concatenation.

No, an LVM2/VxFS is needed.

Also, shops that can afford SAN and high end RAID tend to be able to
provision temp space to store media while they expand and re-create
volumes.
