I have been testing growfs in a loop for some time now (ffs1, ffs2, wapbl) and 
everything works fine, I will commit this during weekend if there are no real 
objections. 

Existence of resize_ffs which was never included to build and can't resize ffs2 
file system can't be considered as issue. 

If anyone cares I have been running small script which was basically doing this

lvm lvresize
fsck
growfs
fsck
check md5 sums of files on fs and create new ones.

Regards

Adam.
