Is there any way to add disks to that raid5 using evms?
I'm one of the right people to ask about EVMS. Please send questions to evms-devel@lists.sf.net and the whole group will be able to provide assistance.
EVMS will recognize and manage software raid devices, but currently doesn't support expanding raid-5 devices. It's on our list for later this year. I believe there's a stand-alone tool available that will let you do this (google for raidreconf).
