Bug#346511: ext3 online resizing doesn't work

  It does (since 2.6.10).  I've successfully extended mounted ext3 file
 systems using ext2online from ext2resize 1.1.19-3 on an unmodified
 2.6.15-1-k7.  

  However the more I've looked into it, the more certain I've become
 that it is Documentation/filesystems/ext3.txt that is incorrect - the
 resize=nblocks mount option is probably disabled due to the fact that
 it's not working properly;  using ext2online(8) is currently the only
 way to do it.  Or so it seems to me.

  I just submitted a patch upstream that corrects the documentation, so
 it's probably going to be fixed in the next upstream release, but it's
 fine by me to close the bug already now anyway.

Kind regards
