Feature Request: Ability to extend filesystems to fill a VG

AIX 7.1

Scenario:

I have a few oracle servers which are managed by chef. I would like to implement in chef the logic to extend the filesystems to fill the volume group on install. I am currently able to install using chef, including creating filesystems, but I currently have an external ruby script to extend the FS to fill the VG.

It would be great if the size parameter could optionally be 'fill' or 'XX%', having the resource compute the size required.

I could work on the change, but would need guidance on the best way since I have not worked on chef resources before.
