It is very risk to resize partitions that is mounted and I don't think 
any disk tools allow you to do this (atleast not without a warning). 
What you could do is use a live CD to boot up your machine, then resize 
the partition.

I did this yesterday with my LVMs and ext3 partitions (root and home).
