You may not be doing anything wrong. From the man page,
you need to have the Online ext2 resize support
(CON-FIG_EXT2_RESIZE) feature enabled in the kernel (after
applying the appropriate patch for the 2.x series of kernels).
*I* don't know if the kernel(s) have been compiled with this enabled? Do
you know?
