Ok the rundown:
Fedora 11
HP MSA60 attached to p800 controller.
Shelf had 8-750 GB drives in it for starters using RAID 6. Used LVM to create a VG.
All of that is working fine.
I added 4 more 750GB drives to the shelf. I used the hpacucli to expand the RAID array and everything is fine as far as the MSA60 and controller are concerned - it shows a nice 6.8TB array.
in Fedora, an fdisk -l /dev/cciss/c0d0 (the msa) shows this:
[root@vs02 ~]# fdisk -l /dev/cciss/c0d0

So basically, the system sees that there is a ~7.3TB disk that the current LV / VG resides on, though it's pointing to a weird GPT partition... not sure what that's all about...
Anyway, the total size of this array is actually 6.8TB, here's the output in the HP ACU cli utility of show config:
=> ctrl slot=6 show config
Smart Array P800 in Slot 6 (sn: P98690G9SV50EX)

physicaldrive 2E:1:12 (port 2E:box 1:bay 12, SATA, 750 GB, OK)
Now all I want to do is expand my VG / LV to include the space from the 4 drives I just added... but i can't seem to find a way to do this. Can anyone help??
