You can't do that. UFS won't let you coalesce two file systems. Neither
will any other file system that I can think of.
It sounded like he was asking about growfs(8). I haven't used it, but
wouldn't that work?
It sounds to me like he is talking about software raid.
Take a look at the 'vinum' stuff.
I just did this over the weekend for a client. Added a drive to an existing
vinum mirror set, and then used growfs to increase the filesystem size.
Worked great! (Well done, Greg, and whoever did the growfs stuff)
However, I don't know how/if you can do it with a filesystem that isn't
already a vinum volume.
