Resizing Ext3
An ext3 filesystem can supposedly be expanded with resize2fs while mounted, but standalone would be safer.
A few ways you can do it:
resize2fs
parted
Partition Magic 7.x
In all cases, first convert ext3 –> ext2: [Note: resize2fs works with ext3.]
tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/hdax
e2fsck -v -f /dev/hdax
e2fsck -v -f /dev/hdax
Resize the partitions with tool of choice.
Convert back to ext3
tune2fs -j /dev/hdax
e2fsck -v -f /dev/hdax
e2fsck -v -f /dev/hdax
-j Add an ext3 journal to the filesystem.
