GNU ext2resize

GNU ext2resize is the first free (GPLed) ext2 filesystem resizer (ext2
is the filesystem found on GNU/Linux machines).  The tools included in
this package can be used to grow and shrink unmounted ext2 filesystems,
and also grow mounted, in-use ext2 filesystems with the help of a kernel
patch.

See the Resizing HOWTO (in doc/) and the ext2resize, ext2online, and
ext2prepare man pages for more information on how to use this package.

There are kernel patches (in patches/) which allow you to resize ext2
filesystems while they are mounted, using the ext2online tool.
Note that there is a patch for online resizing of ext3 filesystems
included here, but it is not yet complete.  You probably shouldn't
use it...  I only include it as a work in progress, because I want
to make a new release of ext2reszie after such a long time  --  Andreas.
