Ext2/Ext3 does not include online resizing, though there are experimental
patches on SourceForge:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=303834&group_id=3834&func=browse

Several of the other journaling filesystems support online expansion,
including Reiserfs and XFS.

You ought to be able to resize Ext3 from the rescue disks.
