to see how many new devs need to be created)
d. add new members to original meta with bcv meta head NEW dev

Method 2:

a. create a new device with the exact same size (and members) as original dev bound
and preallocated = all
b. create members to extend original devices (check one member of original device
to see how many new devs need to be created)
c. add new members to original meta with bcv meta head NEW dev
