There's always "telinit 1".
You mentioned it's a RAID 5, and I think Neil also asked wether you're using
LVM. If not, you should consider using it (or EVMS, which I prefer), so
that you don't run into these troubles again in the future.
You may hear different opinions about that, but you should also consider
splitting your disks into several partitions (or better: logical volumes)
anyway. You'd gain great flexibility, i.e. in that you can select different
filesystems for different purposes, resize as you need, don't wait long
time for fs checks/repairs, etc.
Here's my layout, as an example:
hda1: /boot, 64M, ext2 (64M is way too large).
hda2: LVM
Then, I have logical volumes for everything else, managed with EVMS:
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/evms/root 256M 109M 148M 43% /
/dev/evms/usr 5.0G 3.9G 1.2G 77% /usr
/dev/evms/opt 2.0G 260M 1.8G 13% /opt
/dev/evms/var 2.0G 1.1G 1006M 51% /var
/dev/evms/build 3.3G 95M 3.2G 3% /gentoo/build
/dev/evms/distfiles 2.0G 1.7G 356M 83% /gentoo/distfiles
/dev/evms/portage 512M 241M 272M 48% /gentoo/portage
BTW: I never needed to resize /. Sometimes I need to grow /usr, but since I
chose reiserfs for it, it can be done while mounted.
HTH...
