Hi Simon

I have did several such extends without loosing any data with Mylex DAC960
based controllers and I always used normal mode of fdisk. Just entered
fdisk, deleted the current partition, recreated another one wich covers
the new space too (and which starts from the same position, THIS IS VERY
IMPORTANT), and exited with 'w'. Then mount the XFS partition, xfs_growfs
on it and all was fine :)
