At first I thought your expansion idea was best, but now I think there are
valid scenarios where it fails.
Imagine both sides are not using a file but a disk partition as storage. If the
partition size is not rounded to 1 MB, the last write will fail with the
current code, and there is no way we can expand the partition.
