According to the LVM howto, there is a patch you can apply to the Kernel to
grow (not shrink) the size of a mounted ext3 fs, but I would not use it in
production systems unless it's stable.

I am also curious for anybody willing to share their experience.
We are contemplating switching from ext3 to XFS so we can increase LVM
space on-line (no umount).  I have seen a lot of comments as to how
reliable ext3 is compared to any other type of file system and how
less prone to corruption it is due to the way it does its recovery (no
metadata).   However, XFS is used effectively in aix.
