    This is to announce the first availability of a patch for
    2.0.36 to allow "safely" growing of an ext2 filesystem
    WHILE IT IS MOUNTED.  The growth of the filesystem can
    happen while the FS is in use, with open files, and no
    impact to programs reading or writing to the filesystem.
    I only quote "safely" because the patch is new - there is
    no danger that I found in my limited testing, but since
    you are playing with your disk always have a backup!

...note the date and kernel version number...

Cheers; Leon
