I was under the impression that online resizing of ext2/3 required
kernel patches which are only present in redhat's kernels, whereas
offline resizing with resize2fs works with vanilla kernel.

But I could be wrong.

I've used resize2fs a lot and never had issues with it.  But
offlines resizing isn't particularly exciting.
