 The resize2fs manpage says As of this writing, the Linux 2.6 kernel supports 
 on-line resize for filesystems
 mounted using ext3 only. I resized a mounted ext4 partion the other day on a 
 2.6.34.1 kernel and I'm sure I've
 done it before May 2010 which seems to be date-stamp on the man-page. This 
 should probably be updated.

Thanks for pointing this out.  Ext4 has always supported on-line
resize, but when the man page was updated to add and ext4 in the
first sentence, I failed to update the later sentence regarding online
resizing.  I've checked in the simple and obvious fix.  It will be in
the next release of e2fsprogs.
