Look here: http://linux.msede.com/ext2/ The ext2resize facility is now combined with ext2end which expands live filesystems. You need temporary storage so you can cafely copy away the one you will shrink (cause it may shrink from the "wrong" end) then you can use ext2end to expand / without dismounting (which you cannot do anyway unless you are booting off a rescue disk, which won't have the ext2 resize facility). Yes, folks, you really cannot umount / unless you use the chroot command in which case it is moot, since you cannot then access the original / any longer. ext2resize is on the 8.1 CDs though it is still a use at own risk category.
