 * Excellent !

Um, that is true, but I assume he meant "if/when FFS supports resizing
of existing filesystems" or "if you are using the raw disk partition
and not a filesystem".  Its functionality is rougly equal to ccd at
this point (according to the README).  It's not a filesystem.

By the way, I'll be very interested in testing the RAID5 functionality 
when I get some time (and some spare disks).
