Linux According to kerneltrap: "The future of Reiser4 was raised on the lkml, with the filesystem's creator, Hans Reiser, awaiting his May 7th trial. Concerns that the filesystem wasn't being maintained were laid to rest when Andrew Morton stated, 'the namesys engineers continue to maintain reiser4 and I continue to receive patches for it.'"

ext2online is indeed possible on ext2/3 volumes... HOWEVER.. you MUST have created your filesystems with the following options/features:
-O resize_inode
-E resize

Check the mke2fs man pages for it. Default on most current distributions use these options and allow online resizing towards 1024 * the initial size.
If you want to use it on a ie. pre-3.0-debian created filesystem, you're in trouble... but generally, all newly created ones support it.
