Linux raid5+6 can grow by adding disks or by replacing disks with larger ones.

Adding disks of the same size is trivial, install and 'grow' onto the new disk.

Upgrading all disks is fairly easy - just remove a disk and swap in a larger one, then resync the array. Do this for each disk. Then tell the array to 'grow' into the new space.

Thanks for the advice and link LittleBlueThing! I'm reall starting to believe Linux *is* my best bet, and I probably should go with that. Even if it'll probably cause me a few days of frustration because it's all new to me. But hey, it's a challenge! smile
