It appears MFSTools only supports a partition size of
274gb. With 300gb, 400gb and larger drives out now
this really needs to be addressed. If anyone has a quick
fix to do a single drive 400gb upgrade using the full
capacity I'd like to hear it.

    I got it to work using the following:

    X being the old "A" drive and Y being the new "A" drive.

    mfsbackup -Tao - /dev/hdX | mfsrestore -s 127 -zpi - /dev/hdY

    then

    mfsadd /dev/hdY -x -r 4

    being the new "B" dirve.

    mfsbackup -Tao - /dev/hdX | mfsrestore -s 127 -zpi - /dev/hdY

    then

    mfsadd -X /dev/hdY -X /dev/hdZ -r 4

    meg developing bad sectors) reports target drive too small
    for full backup.
