In case of increasing the size of your filesystem that way you can do so online. FS shrinking will not work online or you would loose data. resize2fs works for any mountpoint, including /. I have done that already several times. Just take care that the system is not heavily used at time of FS resizing. If you can afford run it in runlevel 1. As always doing such kind of tasks: be prepared with a healthy, current backup and a disaster recovery strategy. Regards Alexander
