OK, Let's try again in simpler terms.
The problem you are trying to solve has three components:
1. Filesystem resize
2. parition resize
3. SCSI device resize
1 and 3 are solved (for a subset of fs). A solution to 2 is to use the
Linux device mapper (a mini volume manager) to replace the use of
gendisk partitions. Then your entire stack constructed this way will be
resizable.
The place to begin finding out about DM is the development lists:
