&lt;br /&gt;
* You are the admin, right?&lt;br /&gt;
* Login as root and shutdown the machine&lt;br /&gt;
* Install the physical drives (currently, use only 1TB drives!). Turn on the machine.&lt;br /&gt;
* Enter the RAID bios by pressing TAB&lt;br /&gt;
* Enter the rsf menu and choose to expand the array (this operation took around 33 hours for 4Tb -&amp;gt; 6Tb expansion!!!)&lt;br /&gt;
* Enter the vsf menu and choose to expand also the logical array (this operation took only around 1 hour for 4Tb -&amp;gt; 6Tb expansion)&lt;br /&gt;
* Boot the system&lt;br /&gt;
* umount /home/; umount /storage/volume0; umount /storage/volume1&lt;br /&gt;
* Execute parted&lt;br /&gt;
* Select /dev/sdb. From now on we assume that in the system there exist, so far, logical partitions /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdb2, ..., /dev/sdb(n-1)&lt;br /&gt;
* Create a new partition, start at [old_size] (size before the RAID expansion), end at [new_size]. At the end of the process, the new partition is denoted as /dev/sdbn&lt;br /&gt;
* pvcreate /dev/sdbn&lt;br /&gt;
* vgextend users /dev/sdbn&lt;br /&gt;
* lvextend /dev/mapper/users-bigvol /dev/sdbn&lt;br /&gt;
