Hi, 

I'm trying to add a new disk to a file server (a non-worm) and
I'm wondering is it possible to do it without
having to restore the file system.

Would be possible to reconfigure the file system
using a concatenation of the old and the new
disks and then rebuild the free list? Has anyone
try this before? 

The only problem I see is that the file system size is in the
superblock and it's used to rebuild the free list, so I could 
add a 'resize main' command which recalculates the
size of the file system based on the config information.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
