Currently, it's not possible to increase the size of the standard filesystems
(e2fs, xiafs, minix). I've heard of it as something to do, but nobody seems
to be on it. Nevertheless, you can mount the new filesystem under the old one,
getting some of the least used parts, and almost fill this new filesystem.
This way you can save space on your old, assumed bigger, filesystem.
Hope this helps,
Miguel
