Whether you can add a disk or not depends on the capability of your RAID controller. If you have software RAID solution running there, then there is currently no way to enlarge the array. It needs to be rebuilt from scratch completely. However, Linux Kernel v2.6.17-rc1 together with latest mdadm tools has support for growing software RAID-5 volumes. This schould be considered beta quality! If you attempt doing it, make sure you have a backup ;). Please share your results as I am also interested in this function.
