I've replaced all the drives in my Perc5 RAID 5 array with larger drives (did it one by one and let them rebuild each time) however there doesn't seem to be a way of increasing the virtual disk size to match the larger drives now.. Is there any way to do this or is it a limitation of the hardware? Do I just have to backup all the data and recreate the array to match the new drive size?

Thanks!
 
That only seems to work if you are adding an extra disk to the array. I've replaced all the original ones with larger ones but it doesn't seem to change the virtual disk size at the end..
 
Ah no worries! I've given up trying to expand it. I'm currently backing up all my data to other hard drives and I'm just going to recreate the array.. Going to take me a while!
