Dear James, Hmmmmm, build.... I was thought about classical way with "--create" and then "--manage --add".. and stumbled on requirement to have some space at the end of drive for superblocks (which I don't have).. But "--build" doesn't require superblock...
Good idea, need to check.

Could you use mdadm with the "build" option to mirror the current device to the new device, remove the old device from the mirror and then perform a resize operation on the filesystem of the new device to gain access to the extra storage. All those steps can probably be done online...
