XFS does support expanding just not shrinking, which is not so much of a
problem.  The big advantage XFS has over ext2, ext3 is robust live
filesystem resizing. e.g.

lvextend -L+500M && xfs_growfs /

or

lvextend -L+500M && cryptsetup resize home.cryptfs && xfs_growfs /home

and you have 500M added to your respective filesystem ;)
