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.
