Hello,

i expanded an starwind iscsi volume from 25GB to 40GB. I use this volume as shared storage in a windows 2008 cluster. In windows 2008 i can see an extra 15GB in disk manager but i can not expand the volume to 40GB; expand is grayed out , shrink does work. Any ideas?

Hi Anthony,

Have you tried to use DISKPART.exe utility from your Windows System32 directory to extend your existing NTFS partition?
This is the recommended way that should work.

Please let us know about your results.
Best regards,
Valeriy
