Hello Dirk,

you just need to drag the new slices from the disk view and drop it on the drop
zone of your existing concat canvas. After that a commit of your concat will
show you a message that the size of the metadevice has increased and whether you
want to grow the filesystem on it now or later. Select now and the growfs will
do it's job. Filesystem writes will be blocked during the growfs, but they
should be done after it has finished.

Kind Regards

Jens Fischer
