If it is unmounted, it will work fine.  There is no difference between
ext2 and ext3 for a (cleanly) unmounted filesystem (the journal is just
a regular file).  If you try to resize a filesystem that has a dirty
journal (e.g. after a crash) it will refuse to do so and you need to
run e2fsck.

Cheers, Andreas
