Have you run into the problem about low disk space on RAID 5 partition in Windows SBS 2003? Here are some cases about the SBS 2003 low disk space problem:
"There are two partitions and an unallocated volume on my Windows SBS 2003 RAID 5 disk. Now, the C drive is running on low disk space, so I want to add the unallocated space to the C drive. However, when I right click the C drive, there is no option to format or partition the disk. How can I add the unallocated space to C drive on Windows SBS 2003?"
"I receive low disk space warning on Windows SBS 2003 RAID 5 system partition. There is only little free space on the system partition, but there is much free space on the rest partitions D drive and E drive. So I am wondering if I can move some free space from D drive or E drive to the system partition. Can anybody give me a hand?"
If there is existing unallocated space on the RAID 5, you can run the partition software to move it close to the C drive system partition. Then, you can add the unallocated space to the C drive to get it extended. It sounds easy, but you should pay attention that you have to move the unallocated space close to the system partition before you can extend the partition. With the partition software, you can move partition and extend partition easily without touching even a single data stored on the disk. Therefore, you can completely rely on this software to perform partition resizing when you are running into low disk space problem on RAID 5 C drive system partition on Windows SBS 2003.
If there is no existing unallocated space on the RAID 5, you can rely on the partition software to squeeze some from the partition that still has enough free space. If there is no free space on other partitions on the RAID 5, you can also add new disk to the RAID 5. The new added disk will show as unallocated space, so you can directly add the space to the partition that runs on low disk space. When adding new disk, you should add disk that can be compatible with the RAID 5. By using the partition software, you have no need to backup data, formatting disk and rebuild the array to reallocate disk space.
