I don't know what you mean by "partition".  The disks will be added to your existing data volume if you follow the procedure Hopchen gave you.  

There normally isn't any data loss.  But if disks fail during the resync, the volume isn't protected - so I always do recommend a backup before manipulating disks.

I just xpanded shared volume 12 hrs back. it worked :) without any data loss.

 eg; if you have 3 shared volumes  and if you want to expand one of them. just try expanding 1 folder which is smaller in size.

if you dont have one smaller volume then create one to test( 100GB) and copy some file into it. and expand it to 120 GB and keep raising several time. and see whether it works fine or not( mainly check the files you copied to it).

If your test is successfull then please raise the main voulme you want to expand.

To expand volume click on settings icon and settings again settings/properties and in properties you can see the size, Quota ___TB/GB

Here you expand the existing folder with files.
