thanks
Neil, attached is a bug report for you. Maybe --grow could be
supported on arrays using bitmaps? That seems like the best solution
but I don't know if it's technically feasible to allow it.

Package: mdadm
Version: 2.6.9-3
Severity: normal
Hi,
when I try to resize/reshape a raid with internal bitmap mdadm fails
saying the device is busy and dmesg shows that the raid layer returned
error -16.
The reason why it fails is that resizing and reshaping doesn't know
how to handle the bitmap. Mdadm should detect that a raid has a bitmap
and give a proper error message, possibly even suggest to remove the
bitmap for the duration of the resize/reshape.
