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).
