Question using growfs with large fs

2005-04-17 Thread general
I am running FreeBSD 5.3 on an x86 system. I have a 3ware 9500-s 12 port raid controller installed. Currently there is 8 250gig HD's attached. I originally created a raid-50 (two raid-5, 4 drives each) but recently, migrated the raid-50 to one large raid-5 (which freed up one of the disks) .
