With a recent kernel, and an ext3 prepared for online resizing, yes it
does apparently.  I have not tried it myself since my filesystems were
created before this was an option and hence not currently prepared for
it.  I think tune2fs or something has the option required to modify the
filesystem to support online resizing.  Might be a mount option.  I
forget.  It has to do some change to the inode table layout to allow
changing the size while mounted.
