It's not as simple as all that. ccd is not capable of extending its size without reconfiguration, which involves stopping and restarting ccd. Vinum can do this "on the fly", but there are other obstacles: increasing the size of the disk or the volume doesn't help, you need to increase the size of the file system as well. And that part is still missing. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
