Linda, In order to make sure you get a clean copy using FDRCOPY, you'll have to either quiese or unmount the filesystem before doing the copy to a new/backup data set. HFS is very intolerant of fuzzy copies.
As for the expansion, this is way easier with zfs v.s. hfs. It has been a while since I have dealt with HFS... so maybe one of the other members knows the answer. If there isn't an easy way.. then: 1) make a new hfs/zfs file 2) mount it somewhere like /u/temp 3) there are various methods .. I have seen various documents indicating use of pax. I have just run a cp command with recursive and preserve cp -Rp.
