st_volume_enlarge
This job will enlarge each segment of the volume by at least the given number of blocks,
provided that there is enough free space left.
Since a volume is always equally distributed over all nodes and devices, the resulting
size may be bigger than requested (but never smaller).
The new space is instantly available, but the existing data is not rearranged. This means
that all addresses have to be adjusted by a (node-dependent) offset.
