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.
The kernel patch was merged into 2.6.12, I believe.
Yup. works like a charm, I used it a couple days ago on my /var
filesystem. I'm running 2.6.16.
