Hi all,

System : HP DL385G1 Smart Array 6i AMD64 FBSD 6.3

I want to migrate my RAID1 (2 disks) (automatically assigned as RAID1
bacause I have two disks inserted in RAID 1+0 logical drive), add two
more disks and get actual RAID 1+0 drive of four disks.

I was reading the ACU specs of HP and I see this can be done online. I
can have downtime - the question is if I can do it w/o dump and restore
of the filesystem?

I fully realize that the size will be doubled of /dev/da0 device,
currently 136GB will become 272GB. Can I make a spare partition of it,
will the whole procedure happen w/o any dump/restore?

Thanks.
