(or partially anyway) Here's the rundown: reiser3, resizable online in two ways 1)resize_reiserfs /path/to/dev 2)mount -o remount,resize /path/to/dev XFS, MUST be mounted to resize use xfs_grow /mount/point JFS, resizable online with a mount -o remount,resize /path/to/dev ext2/3, resizable offline reliably. Online resize is a *very* experimental experiment. Have good backups.
