Note: Before the hard drive partition/volume has been extended the
“152.67GB Unallocated” was not accessible for data usage. After using
the diskpart utility to extend the hard drive partition/volume capacity, the
Windows host side matches the virtual hard drive partition/volume using
the DIP switches.
For more information about the diskpart utility, please see the documenta-
tion on Microsoft’s website at: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/docu-

File System Expansion for Macintosh
Overview
This appendix describes the procedures needed with Apple Mac OS X
for expanding file systems that have been created on volumes that have
increased in size, while preserving all of your existing data. After you
have added more hard disk drives to increase the storage capacity of a
BIG volume, you must use the supplemental procedure described below
to allow the expanded capacity to be recognized by Mac OS X.
The following example illustrates a hard disk growing from a JBOD to a
BIG Storage Policy.
A software tool named VolumeWorks from SubrosaSoft (available
from http://www.subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?main_
page=product_info&products_id=6) can be used to grow the partition that
was created in JBOD Storage Policy to a BIG Storage Policy disk.
SubrosaSoft VolumeWorks easily organizes your hard drive by creating,
resizing, copying your partitions on a Mac OS X (10.3 or higher) system.
There are other third-party products are available to perform similar
volume management activities, but those products are very sophisticated
and are not described in this manual.
