Yes.

You can resize an ext3 filesystem with the resize2fs command. Both enlarge or shrink it.
But : this is allowed only on an *offline* (umounted) filsystem, resize2fs doesnt take care of the underlaying partition, you have to enlarge the partition (logical volume) before an enlarge operation or shrink it after a shrink operation.


man 8 resize2fs

<<
RESIZE2FS(8)

NAME
      resize2fs - ext2/ext3 file system resizer

[ ... ]


Do the operation as following: -unmount the logical volume holding the filesystem you want to enlarge -lvwextend to enlarge the partition -resize2fs to enlarge the filesystem -remount the logical volume
