I didn't know this until recently, but ext2/3 can be grown online as
well (using 'ext2online'), given that you create it originally with
enough block group descriptor table room to support the size you're
growing too.
>From the man page for mke2fs:
-E extended-options
Set extended options for the filesystem. Extended options are
comma separated, and may take an argument using the equals
(’=’) sign. The -E option used to be -R in earlier versions of
mke2fs. The -R option is still accepted for backwards compati-
bility. The following extended options are supported:
stride=stripe-size
Configure the filesystem for a RAID array with
stripe-size filesystem blocks per stripe.
resize=max-online-resize
Reserve enough space so that the block group
descriptor table can grow to support a filesystem
that has max-online-resize blocks.
I have done it, and it works.
