RE: Array Expansion on Compaq DL360 (G1)

Roald
On DL360 you can install only 2 HD.
So You said that previously you had 2 HD 9GB and now you have installaed 
2x36 GB HD.
I think that you have already performed the Back-up of the data form the 2x9 
GB HD and make the restore on the 2x36 GB HD.

If this is your configuration the only way to resolve your problem is 
destroy the logical volume (9 GB) and recreate the new volume (36 GB).

Regards Key
