Have you looked at all into how well it works on RAID partitions? Ideally I'd love to be able to stick a pair of disks into a system, rescan the SCSI bus to pick them up, add them onto the end of my RAID 0+1 (striped/ mirrored) raid, and then increase the ext2 partition on the RAID. All without having to drop the system. I'm fairly sure it can't be done with the current set of tools and whatnot, but that's one thing I'd love to see. Don't get me wrong, ext2 resizing is very nice, just would be nice to be able to resize RAID things to go along with it...
