Use LVM, then you can make your partitions bigger to suit [...]
In my experience, there are a couple of gotchas when combining different LVM versions and filesystems. lvm 1.0 and ext2 works, but ext3 had some interesting side-effects (ext3 seemed to need unmounting totally to snapshot reliably). lvm 1.0 and reiserfs lost data, but I'm inclined to blame reiser for that even though I couldn't prove or debug it.
What works well for users of LVM or similar systems?
