You have to grow the ext3 fs separately. ext2resize /dev/mdX. Keep in

ext3 can be resized online. I think ext2resize in the latest release
will "do the right thing" whether it is online or not.
There is a limit to the amount of expansion that can be achieved
on-line. This limit is set when making the filesystem. Depending on
which version of ext2-utils you used to make the filesystem, it may or
may not already be prepared for substantial expansion.
So if you want to do it on-line, give it a try.... or ask on the
ext3-users list for particular details on what versions you need and
how to see if your fs can be expanded.

Thanks for all the advice. One final question, what kernel and mdadm
versions do I need?
