Hi, I replaced two 115GB drives in my xserve that were mirrored with two that were 250GB. To replace them, I added them as mirrors using using 'diskutil repairMirror' and then removed the smaller drives. However, now I still only have 115GB for the RAID. How do I gain the extra space? Also, if there isn't a way, how can I redo it so it does work?

Thanks in advance!

Restore the data from backup onto a newly generated RAID volume.

Boot from the 10.3 install disk and select it in the startup disk control panel (or whatever you want to call the weird application thingie).

ACSA 10.4/10.3, ACTC 10.3, ACHDS 10.3
