We are currently upgrading our servers hard drives (40GB -> 320GB) and after rebuilding them with RAID, all that's left is to growfs the system. I've never done this before, so I'd like to confirm a few things before I test it out.
Are these the correct steps to take for growfs?
(ad0 = harddrive, ad0s1 = disk, ad0s1f = /usr (what I want to grow)).
Also, does doing this on a RAID 1 setup change anything? Will it automatically reflect in the secondary drive as well or do I need to do it a second time for it?
Thanks a lot in advance.

- Login as root under single-user mode.
- Modify disk size with fdisk -u /dev/ad0.
- Edit the slice size with disklabel -e /dev/ad0s1.
- Use growfs -s [size] /dev/ad0s1f.
