[NTLUG:Discuss] rebuilding a raid5 with bigger disks

[al hardigree]

I have a raid 5 array with 8gb hdds
I want to replace them one at a time with 40gb hdds and let it rebuild each time
the question is......
during rebuild, will the raid make an 8gb partition on the 40gb?
if so, can I grow the 8gb to the full 40gb without taking the array offline?
