Expand Disk

CA806597 — Sat, 10 Apr 2004 03:05:19 GMT

Is it possible to expand a disk? Doesn't look like it to me. And if one can't what the best strategy to mange disks and volumes so one doesn't later face problems with storage limitations? I tried to expand the volume but it complained that no disk space is free on the disk and expanding the disk I got the Windows Disk Manager and there I couldn't find anything for expansion.
Appreciate your help.

Hi

It is possible to expand/extend disks and volumes depending on the hardware you have. Some Fibre Channel arrays (EVA, MSA, ...) allow you to expand/extend the disk under the filesystem. Otherwise the OS will let you create a dynamic disk which can be spanned across multiple physical disks.
Without more info on your hardware/software config it's hard to say which would be best.

I have a NAS2000s running Windows 2003. It doesn't look like I can expand a Disk once it's created.
