Unfortunately my answer for this is no. Resizing nilfs partition is not supported at present though LVM can increase volume size. We had an experimental implementation for the resize support, but it became obsolete during the long mainlining process. I believe we would have another chance to remake it because it's not difficult. Roughly speaking, we can do it by increasing the number of segments in the partition. But it may take a few more release cycles unless someone tries it.
