SAM-QFS: Online Grow Fails With Error Adding Maps

(Doc ID 1674180.1)

Symptoms

When adding a data device using 'online grow', it preallocates a number of contiguous blocks for the bitmaps on an metadata (mm) device.  If there isn't enough contiguous space on an mm device, to allow for the additional bitmaps, when adding a data device, the error below is seen.  It is telling us that there was not enough space (errno28 is ENOSPC) for the required block allocation.

The error below was seen when there was a lack of contiguous bitmap space on mm device, eq 41, when attempting to add data device, eq 709
