Is it intentional/necessary that geli resize does not work while attached?

Or does it, and i'm just doing it wrong? I tried geli suspend, resize, resume too to no avail. I'm using FreeBSD 9.2 and AES-256-XTS. Is there a different block-chaining mode that would make it possible?

How hard would it be to implement online geli resize? I'm naively imagining it'd be not-too-hard, though I figured I'd ask first if there's any reason this won't work, or if it's already working in 10.0 (which i haven't taken the plunge to yet) or CURRENT, or if someone with more familiarity and talent than i would heroically save me the trouble.

i'm using zvol->geli->zpool and i'd like to be able to upsize the zvol, then the geli, then the zpool. zvol and zpool support this while busy, and i'd like to avoid inserting a superfluous gvirstor layer if at all possible.

Thanks,
-Chad
