Hi,

What software can I use in FC5 to resize an ext3 partition? I've tried qtparted and gparted, but in both of them the "resize partition" option is disabled. Why?

Ext3 is a filesystem and not a partition.
So to resize a partition you can use all tools related to it (for
examples fdisk)

To resize the filesystem you have to use other command.
ext2resize I don't remember but I think works online.

There's resize2fs for offline filesystem changes, and ext2online for online changes. Not all size changes can be done online though - ext2online will tell you if it can't do it.
