Yes, but only if you installed your partitions using LVM. The link to
the HOWTO is below:
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
Then, a simple e2fsadm -L +/- <size> /dev/<volgroup>/<volname> will
resize the partition. Using -L with a negative number will return free
space to the volume group, and -L with a negative number chews up that
free space. lvdisplay will show you how much space is currently
available in your partition. Actually, you won't be able to resize your
root partition in this manner, as your root partition should be outside
the LVM.
