The problem I've had in the past in Windows for example:
Drive D: is a RAID5 volume, 400GB, nearly full. If I add a 200GB drive to the array, the 'disk' that Drive D: resides on is now ~600GB, but Drive D: will remain 400GB. I would have to utilize a third party piece of software to resize Drive D: to utilize all 400GB, or create another partition to use that extra 200GB.
In my case. /media/video will still only have 400GB available to it. I'm creating one partition on the array with one slice. My understanding then is if I go into the label editor after adding my new drive, I'll have 200GB of free space, and I could create another slice and another mountpoint, but not simply add that additional space to my original slice and mountpoint at /media/video.
Now, since I originally posted this message, I did more digging, and found some posts regarding growfs. Perhaps that command is what I'm looking for, and would allow me to grow /media/video to use all 600GB in that case.
Now my only concern is whether or not the SX6000 support nondestructively growing a RAID5 array. If I'm right about growfs that is. :)
You have already answered your question :). BTW kindly do not top post and wrap up mails at 72 characters. IT really creates a mess in my text mode client :(.

Nani? I'm using pine in it's default config. Totally bizarre. I'll look into though. Thanks for the help!
