Hi Tom, sounds like you've had a fun day.

If the disks you install and sync with are bigger that the original then I
believe they will only use the capacity of the original disk. So, faced with
a similar situation (and too tight to waste a bit of disk space) I asked the
question a few years back:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.devices.blueonyx.user/6206

I did fiddle with it a quite a bit, but I didn't like the solution for use
on a production server so stopped and favoured a complete rebuild.  I don't
remember if I actually had success or not as I did my testing on a bit of
old hardware at home.

Hope this helps a bit.

Regards, Richard

I just picked up 2 new drives but they are bigger than the one good drive. 
Can I clone the old drive to the new one, install it and raid it to the
second drive?
