parted can resize ext2 quite fine. Don't forget that Ted Tso
developed the resize ext2 program for Partition Magic. His
condition was putted GPL in one or two years.
If you want resize an ext3 partition, just convert it to ext2,
resize it, and reconvert it to ext3 (tunefs(8)).
$ apt-cache show parted

Parted currently supports DOS, Mac, Sun, BSD, GPT and PC98
disklabels/partition tables, as well as a 'loop' (raw disk)
type which allows use on RAID/LVM. Filesystems supported are
ext2, ext3, FAT (FAT16 and FAT32) and linux-swap. Parted can
also detect HFS (Mac OS), JFS, NTFS, ReiserFS, UFS and XFS
filesystems, but cannot create/remove/resize/check these
filesystems yet.
