Yes, but unfortunately it is not deployed. It stays blank for now.

I'd like to extend my existing ftp stripe with these two disks using
growfs, as previously posted here and on questions and preserve data
at the same time.
We're using gstripe and software RAID.
> df -h
/dev/stripe/data    289G    254G     12G    96%    /mnt/storage
This is my existing stripe that gives people rsync and ftp access and
will be getting narrower.
Does anyone have an experience extending existing stripe using growfs?

I suppose that the following command will preserve data and work:

# gstripe stop data
# gstripe label -v -s 65535 data /dev/ad3 /dev/ad4 /dev/ad5 /dev/ad6
# growfs -s  2000473292 /dev/stripe/data ( where   2000473292  is the
equivalent of 953.9G - the total storage I have from all disks -
existing and newly added, if summed).
# /sbin/reboot

Would it be possible in the future to announce the size of packages
being uploaded, so colleagues have more adequate reaction?
I apologize for being naughty and posting multiple times, but
according to an internal discussion with George Danchev, I didn't make
myself clear, so I ask one last time.
Sorry about that.
Peace!
