This thread points at what I would say is one of the problems with linux
today - the lack of a standard tool for working with file systems. I have
been working with HP-UX for some years, and the abillity to enlarge and
change file systems while they are in use are very nice to have when the
system is in production. The HP-UX tool is not perfect (you may not
downsize a filesystem without creating a new one and copy the files
[downtime]), but other tasks like moving a filesystem from one disk to
another may be done in runtime.

Ok.. I think that resize the partitions it's a problem.... but you can
add a new hard disk... maybe....
Or, install webmin, webmin include a module.
