And as I just found out after some googling, growing RAID10 requires at 
least kernel 3.4rc. I have Ubuntu 12.04, which has kernel 3.2

I'm now thinking I could use a parted magic live cd to grow the array, 
and then continue using it with my current linux distribution. Am I 
right in this assumption? Or have I missed something?

Thanks, Chris
