Actually, this won't solve your problem with QTparted. It doesn't
support resizing ext3 or ext2 filesystems. And from playing around with
parted, I think you would run into "Filesystem has incompatible feature
enabled" errors if you tried using it.

Because, as I learned a few months ago, the filesystem was created with "sparse superblocks", which is the default behavior. A workaround is to always include -O ^sparse_super in the options string for mke2fs. The partition will then be resizable by parted, qtparted or Partition Magic. A bit more disk space is consumed in overhead but at today's storage costs, I really couldn't care less. YMMV



I think your best bet on resizing is my original suggestion. Use resize2fs to resize the filesystem, then use fdisk to resize the partition.
