Erm... I'm a bit confused now. It seems that a lot of people already do LUKS 
online resizing since quite a while, most of the time without problems (see 
eg. 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.device-mapper.dm-crypt/2214/ )

Do you state this is not safe? It definitely is possible, google "luks 
resize", it boils down to something like

  lvresize -L +10g /dev/vg0/data
  cryptsetup resize /dev/mapper/data
  ext2online /dev/mapper/data

Maybe you can clarify that a bit?

Yours, Uwe
