I am using btrfs-progs latest git head in gentoo, along with a 2.6.37 kernel. I am unable to resize the filesystem online (or offline - though that doesn't seem to be an option).

In short for sda9, it is a logical partition inside an extended partion (sda1), and has approximately 85GB of unpartioned space (inside the extended partition) following it, into which I would like to resize it.
