Actual Results: well, nothing, it's the problem ;-) Expected Results: online resize should have been done on the busy LV with ext3 on it. Additional info:
ext2online has been replaced by resize2fs in e2fsprogs-1.39, it's should the problem. system-config-lvm is not aware of it.

s-c-lvm determines if ext3 can be extended online, by checking for the presence of ext2online. Since ext2online was not found, message "resize can only be done on a unmounted ext3 filesystem" was displayed, and online resizing was disabled. Will fix...

This bug has been closed as a duplicte of a RHEL5 bug. The RHEL5 bug has been closed as closed with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. However, the resolution appears to have not made it to any current release of FC6. So I have re-opened this bug as a gentle reminder. Cheers.
I can confirm this is happening in RAWHIDE as of today: Fedora 7 Test 2 with the latest updates. This works perfectly fine in RHEL 4 Update 4. Please, remember to fix this in RAWHIDE too.
Ping? Can someone backport system-config-lvm from F7 to FC6? The version in F7 do not seems to have this bug. Please. Thks.
