I did a diff between the growfs.c from a 6.2-STABLE machine and what I 
have now from list patches and GCC error fixing.  *WARNING* it appears 
to work, and compiles clean, but doesn't actually make a correct 
filesystem! I don't know enough C to get past this, though I suspect 
it's close and some study might get me there.

I don't have more than 2TB of free space handy at the moment, so I used 
a md device, you absolutely need to try this on a _TEST_ machine with a 
copy of real disk/data first.
