I had come across EVMS. It seems like overkill for me to go that route
when I am just looking for a one-time resize. A few years back I had
used "raidreconf" to successfully resize an array. Given its age and
the reports I have seen, I can't use that. If we are being forced down
the EVMS path, I'll consider it. However, it would be much more
convenient to have a utility that works directly with the RAID-5
array.
