Additional comments: ReiserFS 3 can be enlarged while mounted, but shrunk only when unmounted. ReiserFS 4 can not yet be resized at all. EXT2/3 can be enlarged online with a kernel patch and utils from http://ext2resize.sourceforge.net/ XFS must be mounted while enlarging but can AFAIK not be shrunk, even off-line. JFS must be mounted while enlarging but can not be shrunk, same as XFS.
