 ===== Increase size of Raid Disk Array with LVM and LUKS =====
 These steps have to be taken to increase a Raid Disk Array with the following configuration: RAID -> LVM -> LUKS -> ext4.

+  * You could do an online resize by avoiding to unmount the file system and closing LUKS, but I find this approach safer. If you decide to do an online resize, skip steps 2 and 3, and instead of step 6 (open LUKS) do a crypt resize:<code>cryptsetup resize vg_backup-lv_backup_crypt</code>.
