I guess you'll have to do it manually with resize2fs and fdisk. Just
read the man page carefully, and think of it as a 2 or 3-step process:
Growing:
1. use fdisk to grow the partition first.
2. use resize2fs to grow the filesystem.
Shrinking:
1. use resize2fs to shink the filesystem to a point well below (at least
10% below) the size you want for the partition.
2. use fdisk to resize the partition.
3. use resize2fs to grow the filesystem to fill the partitition.
HTH,
