The only answers I've found are about ZFS volumes or involve using growfs, which I have attempted in the past but was unable to use because the volume is larger than 2TB (not sure if that changed though)
I have an 8TB RAID5 array in my FreeNAS box that is full. I have added another 2TB to the array, and it is in the process of expanding right now. Once my RAID card finishes expanding the array, I would like to extend my 8TB existing volume to 10TB, but I am not sure of the best way to do this.
I would ideally like to accomplish this without having to take the volume offline, and would absolutely like to retain the data (don't worry, I obviously have a backup). Any easy way to do this?
Thanks
