Add new disk to RAID5 volume

J

James Culleton

Hi,

I've got a server with 4 18gb scsi disks set up with RAID5. This gives me a
total of 54gb of space. The server is partition as follows,

C: is 10gb, E: is 25gb and F: is 19gb.

The C: partition on the server is almost full. If I added another 18gb disk
to the RAID5 volume, Where would the extra disk space be assigned to? I
need to increase the size of the C: partition by another 10gb. The server is
running Windows 2000 Server with a hardware RAID5 solution.

Thanks for any advice.

James.

Extra space is devoted entirely to data but as a new volume only. Clone,
reconfigure array, and reimage.
