I have expanded my hard drive space in RAID 5 by adding a 5th 3TB drive. I wasn't able to do this within the GUI as I was able to expand in OMV2. I had to use the command line to expand the RAID
mdadm --add /dev/md127 /dev/sdb
mdadm --grow /dev/md127 --raid-devices=5Here's the details on the clean RAID5
Version : 1.2
Creation Time : Tue Nov 18 11:35:57 2014
Raid Level : raid5
Array Size : 11720540160 (11177.58 GiB 12001.83 GB)
Used Dev Size : 2930135040 (2794.39 GiB 3000.46 GB)
Raid Devices : 5
Total Devices : 5
Persistence : Superblock is persistent
Update Time : Thu Nov 23 10:51:33 2017
State : clean
Active Devices : 5

Failed Devices : 0
Spare Devices : 0
Layout : left-symmetric
Chunk Size : 512K
Name : SAWHOME-Vault:RAID5 (local to host SAWHOME-Vault)
UUID : bea4cede:6989d555:c0037b76:5d3428cb

Number Major Minor RaidDevice State
3 8 32 0 active sync /dev/sdc
1 8 64 1 active sync /dev/sde
2 8 80 2 active sync /dev/sdf
4 8 0 3 active sync /dev/sda
5 8 16 4 active sync /dev/sdbNow when I go to the file systems menu in the GUI of OMV3 I click on my File System and select Resize (see attachment).
I get this error:
Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C; xfs_growfs '/srv/dd3de295-9705-4573-b299-53e77a01fada' 2>&1' with exit code '1': xfs_growfs: /srv/dd3de295-9705-4573-b299-53e77a01fada is not a mounted XFS filesystem

#6 {main}Would it be safe to resize the file system in the command line using:
xfs_growfs /dev/md127I want the file system to take all the available space on the RAID so I don't need to specify the size, correct?
I have used this tread to get me this far. I just don't want to mess up my file system at this junction.
Thanks in advance
