wah, gak masalah, kan bisa di-trim dulu ke ext2 FS, hapusin journalnya, 
lakukan expansion, setelah selesai, convert lagi ke ext3 FS.

Good Heaven, swap dan / ada dibawa RAID 5 juga ;-D
Bisa enggak, untuk /boot, /, /usr dan swap dibuat Logical Drive dengan 
RAID 1 saja?
Kemudian yg lain lain baru dibawah RAID 5? Saya baca manual ACU 
nampaknya bisa begitu ah

Anda benar, saya sudah pelajari HP Array Configuration Utility
User Guide January 2006 (First Edition)
Part Number 416146-001

Di halaman 24-26 memang disebutkan kemampuan untuk melakukan melakukan 
expand array.

Extend logical drive
This option increases the storage capacity of a logical drive by adding 
unused space on an array to a logical drive on the same array. The 
unused space is obtained either by expanding an array ("Expand Array" on 
page 24) or by deleting another logical drive ("Delete logical drives" 
on page 24) on the same array.
Not all operating systems support online logical drive extension through 
ACU. Some operating systems allow you to perform logical drive extension 
offline by backing up data, reconfiguring the array, and restoring data 
from backup. Check the operating system documentation for current 
information.

Migrate a logical drive
This option enables you to alter the stripe size (data block size), RAID 
level, or both for a selected logical drive. For some combinations of 
initial and final settings of stripe size and RAID level, the array must
contain unused drive space.

Wah memang hebat Smart Array milik HP ini, saya rasa ini karena 
controllernya sendiri punya embedded OS yang smart dan adanya layer 
tambahan Logical Drive.

Melihat dari manual tersebut, anda memang bisa menambah kapasitas dengan 
  mudah, tanpa kudu harus scratch hardware array confignya, dan tanpa 
menggunakan Linux LVM,  tapi tetap saja anda kudu roll back dari ext3 FS 
ke etx2 FS, sementara saja.

Good luck kalo gitu :D
