Happily, it's dead-easy to "resize" any type of Linux filesystem, using
a live CD's ssh and rsync utiltiies and an adequate amount of disk space
on any other host on your network.  Just copy the files, blow away
filesystems, make new ones, copy back.  (Notes at  "Copying Directory Trees"
on http://linuxmafia.com/kb/Admin may help.)
