Hi
(As I said before) I don't know much about HW-raids on Intel-based (PC)
computers but I think the raid-controller is able to add the new disk to
the existing raid; referring to the raid systems of HP it would start to
"insert" the new space into the existing filesystem (HP ones do so).
If not, I think you only have the possibility to backup your data
(/home) and create a new filesystem with the new disk included. My
advice: use an LVM for creating the new filesystem - it is a little bit
complicated to administrate but it is worth.
Heinz Mauelshagen wrote one LVM for Linux (it is working great); you can
have a look for it at
