>> AFAIK (might be wrong though, haven't use ext3 since ages), ext3 still
isn't capable of being resized while mounted, something reiserfs is able
to do since quite some time (only growing though) - a *very* useful
feature, especially in combination with LVM.
Right/wrong ?

It should be capable of performing online resize operations. If not in
the current kernel, I've seen patches that implement it.


There's ext2online in e2fsprogs-package - but it lists a lot of caveats.
I tested it briefly and must say that xfs_grow and resize_reiserfs look more 'serious' -- but that also needs more testing...
