I am worried "extending" and "extensions" might be too close a wording
since we often mention extensions. I tried "increase the file eize" but
that seemed wordy. Ideas?

Personally, while I consider heap and indexes to be both relations at
the SQL level, at the file system level I tend to think of them as
different, but perhaps that is just me.
