[Cialug] Resize ext3

[Josh More]

I've always just run resize2fs.  I've never had an issue.

Ok, I thought I've done this before, but after doing a Google search on
how
to do it, I'm seeing people do steps that I don't recall doing.  I
thought I
just booted into single user, and ran resize2fs on the partition I
wanted to
resize.  But I'm seeing people turning off journaling, then do the
resize,
then turning journaling back on.

So my question is, what's the best way to do this?  Note, in this case,
the
partition is mounted as '/', so I'll have to boot off of a live CD.
