Loop device will adapt to size of underlying device when loop is setup.
Backing up 430 GB is not going to be fun, but I still recommend that you
backup your data before resize.

If you are expanding swap partition, be sure to run 'swapoff' and 'mkswap'
on the expanded device before using it with 'swapon'. IIRC, size of swap
partition is recorded at beginning of swap partition and 'mkswap' will write
new size there.
