Be aware that growing an SLVM / DiskSuite RAID5 doesn't really
grow the RAID5 set, it just concats more components onto the end of
it. If those components are mirrors then you still have redundancy, if
they aren't then you don't for that data that ends up out there. I
don't consider growing RIAD5 this was with DiskSuite a good way to go,
short or long term.
