haven't used that array, but I am presuming you have added more space to your original disk space. if you look in /proc/partitions it should show you the disk size that linux sees as well as the size of the partitions on it. if the disk size has increase that good, the next step is to resize the partition. resize2fs is your friend (this is whats its called under debian). If you are resizing your root partition, you are going to need a boot CD - like knoppix, check out man resize2fs it will tell you what to do. if you are using LVM, even easier create a new partition on the new space and add it to your volume group Alex > > Never done this before so any pointers/sites to look at would help on > how you get the Linux partition to expand into the newly available > space. > It's all one big drive.
