You can change the # on the fly.  By default the changes will only work on the last RG in the aggregate, but if you raise it
you can back-fill older RGs by using the -g option.  If you were to lower the RG size it will only affect the last RG.

Subject: Can one change the number of disks in a raid group on the fly

Question about resizing raid groups.  Can one change the number of disks in a raid group on the fly in a netapp filer?  I currently have an aggregate with a single raid groups and I would like to add another shelf.  So as to reduce the amount of storage I lose can I change the size of the raid group and grow the underlying raid for the aggregate or do I have to start a new raid group?
