Well, you can see how backlogged I am from dredging a month old thread up,
but....

Is there currently a mechanism for increasing the size of an ffs
filesytem?


Specific application:

I'm writing a video playback system.  Storing lots of big mpeg2 files on a
RAID system which will let me add a disk and add it to the array.  Now I
want to grow the fs so I don't end up with N little file systems instead
of one big one.

Thanks:)
