Interesting, but still not gonna work (for me).
GNU ext2resize is a package which allows resizing ext2 and ext3
filesystems (both shrinking and growing). The ext2resize tool is
for resizing unmounted filesystems, and ext2online is for
growing a mounted filesystem (it needs a kernel patch to work,
however).
Compiling and installing into new kernel is going to take a lot longer
than unmounting. Maybe if it was merged into into the kernel and the
standard ext3 tools. But since it hasn't been updated since 2004, that
seems unlikely. I stand by my claim of unpossible.
