I have a server with RAID 5 and now i put a 5th HD to the raid. In Linux the free space is now at the end of the Raid-HD (all 5 Disk are shown as one HD) after the end of the extended Partition. My last logical partition is the /usr filesystem and now i want to increase the size of /usr. Does anybody know how to do? Is there any tool to do with?

This is the only procedure I know if you aren't using LVM.
1) dump the fs to tape 2) boot in rescue mode 3) fdisk to increase the partition size mkfs to rebuild the fs and its super blocks 4) restore 5) normal reboot
