I found a page on the web that claims that ReiserFS can be resized
on-line:

http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-lvm/?dwzone=linux

Near the bottom there is a Resources list with a bullet item (the 7th
bullet):

* ReiserFS is an excellent filesystem (especially in combination with
  LVM). If you're using ReiserFS, you'll want to grab the
  reiserfs-utils tarball, which contains a program called
  "reiserfs_resize" -- allowing online resizing of ReiserFS
  filesystems.

Yeah, I know.

Not that I know of but I know diddly about the progress of reiserfs.
Maybe reiserfs resize online now.  I have not heard about that and I
worked in the (Linux) storage industry as little as a month ago.  I
was never too interested in reiserfs though.

Right now ext2 resizes online just fine.  There is some finishing work
that needs to be done for ext3 but it's not a lot.  I just don't have
the cycles to do it right now.

Anyone wanting to pickup and finish the ext3 online resizing please
take a look at http://ext2resize.sourceforge.net/ and contact Andreas.

Regardless, ext2 online resizing is finished and working fine.  Having
the patches in the kernel for that would be nice.

What you say Chomuel?
