Oh, sorry - I forgot to share the most important details - size of mounted
reiserfs partitions can be readjusted on the fly (using resize_reiserfs
-f) whereas using ext2 unmounting is a must (I think).

Of course, the OP might want to stick with ext3 due to several
reasons. Besides, I don't know how bug-free converts is, but I've used it
twice to convert a live filesystem from ext3 to reiserfs, and didn't have
problems. 

Sorry for the missing crucial details on the previous post :)
