   The FreeBSD Foundation is pleased to announce that Edward Tomasz   
   Napierala has been awarded a grant to implement the ability to grow   
   filesystems while they are mounted.   
      
   "Users of FreeBSD in a virtualized environment will be pleased with   
   the increased ease of deployment afforded by the ability to grow   
   mounted filesystems," said Ed Maste, Director, The FreeBSD Foundation.   
      
   This project will add GEOM and filesystem changes that are necessary to   
   increase the size of both UFS and ZFS filesystems while a filesystem   
   is mounted read-write. This project will provide the additional   
   benefit of online provisioning of virtual instances.   
      
   The Foundation is pleased to be working with Edward again. He   
   was previously awarded a grant to implement resource containers   
   and a simple per-jail resource limits mechanism. This work was   
   included in FreeBSD 9.0 RELEASE.   
      
   This project is expected to be completed by October 2012.
