I have an aggregate with a 150 GB Flexible volume with a 3 TB capacity and a growth increment of 10 GB. If I want to Copy 1.5 TB of data to the volume, it tells me there is not enough disk space. Doesn't the flexible volume grow to accomodate the data dynamically, or will I have to manually assign more storage capacity to the flex volume?

edit: This is an iSCSi LUN, and the volume is an RDM (raw device mapping). The host is a Windows Server VM, and the LUN will be partitioned as NTFS.
