1. System with old drive
2. install new drive and sync via System admin
3. shutdown and remove old drive
3. boot up and do the fdisk trick by jcns
4. the commands:
mdadm --grow /dev/md2 --size=max
pvresize /dev/md2
lvresize -l +100%FREE main/root
ext2online -C0 /dev/main/root
5. reboot and close your server casing again  :-P

I got it to work, thanks a lot for your help!

Finally I can get all my music on the server to stream over the SqueezeCenter!

I'm very pleased that my trick help you (and maybe some others) in this task!

I hope others can test this procedure and tell us if they got success on this too...

That is very informative. If you desire tips and tricks or help please be a little more elaborate, we do not have a crystal ball here.

What did you try and what did you observe? Did you see any error messages?
