Ok, so I've recently (i.e. tonight) added a new drive to my raid and expanded the array to encompass the new drive. This migrated it from a raid1 to a raid5 (my card can handle online capacity expansion/raid level migration). Now the raid card's management cli shows the raid as being the new size so that went fine, but obviously I now need to sort things so debian can actually use it. My question is this: can debian expand an ext3 partition? Presumably, this would entail using fdisk? Ideally this should be non-destructive.
I've posted this here because I can't find anything particularly conclusive on google as to whether this is possible or not.
The server is running Lenny and it's gotta be cli-based.
Cheers in advance.
