There's nothing (much) stopping you from adding another 120 MB subdisk to your RAID-5 plex. I think you'll have to do an attach -f. You *will* lose the contents of the plex (in fact, you'll have to initialize all four subdisks). You'll have to back up and restore your data. > I do realise that I will loose 50Gb, but that's better than not > using it at all. You can make another volume out of that.
