What is the config presently? RAID level, existing drive size/speed/interface? – Dave M Mar 24 '10 at 16:11

Are you wanting to add this 300GB disk to the existing RAID5 array? If so, this can be done via DOMSA, but only 146GB of the new drive will be used. – joeqwerty Mar 24 '10 at 23:09

yes it can.
if you need to expand the existing array, use the reconfigure option in OMSA, otherwise, simply add another raid array of the raid-0 type with a single disk in.
