AFIR JFS (on AIX) you could make it bigger while it was active.
The file system that I really liked was AdvFS on Dec/Compaq/HP/...
Unix/TruUnix4/... (pick the name that you want in either case).
This file system was nice: larger/smaller on the fly; generate a view
(great for backups, one view never changes while the other continues
to work); > 2GB (OK, this was several years ago) & others that I forget.
