i have a 160gb drive pair that mfsinfo reports can be expanded 1 more time, but mfsadd reports "nothing to add!".

an ideas as to why mfsadd and mfsinfo would not agree or why mfsadd will not expand this drive pair?

two (2) new 160gb DTivo drives as follows:
- these were created by copying a 120gb+80gb pair using dd
- the 120gb+80gb drives were created from an OEM 40gb drive pair
- mfsinfo reports the 160gb drives as:[list]
[*] total of 5 partition pairs in use for the pair
[*] total of ~195gb in use for the pair
[*] A-drive contains ~118gb and uses 3 partition pairs
[*] B-drive contains ~78gb and uses 2 partition pairs
[*] total of ~195gb in use for the pair
[*] says "can be expanded 1 more time"[/list]
- mfsadd -x reports[list]
[*] "nothing to add"[/list]
