Hi

recently when we upgraded our server I tried to assign a greater capacity to
the DB volumes than was needed (in this case 40GB instead of the 32) and the
restore reduced the size of the Assigned space back down to 32 although the
volumes physical size obviously stayed the same.

mother had to say!
Ford Prefect: Why, what did she say?
Arthur Dent:  I don't know... I didn't listen!
