Ubuntu expand free disk space after RAID change

cn flag
zte813

maybe someone can advise how to expand free disk space to SDA6 part? Before I have used 2x960GB SSD (Hardware RAID1), now I have added +2x960GB SSD and made Hardware RAID10 (1+0). Problem is now that I see SDA shows 1.8T but I don't know exactly how to add free space to SDA6 partition. Any help would be appreciated.

SDA6 now has 800GB which was when I had RAID1, but now I need to expand it with free space add all to SDA6.

You need to run `gparted`, which has Resize partition function, which expands the SDA6 partition to fill the free space. Then you can use LVM tools to increase the volume group / logical volumes.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
