There's nothing bugs me worse than to see soemone answer a Linux question with "I have this great Windows utility..".
LVM folks. Look it up, learn it, use it! IT's the answer to situations like this one.
Once set up, I can do fun things like:
enlarge a filesystem "on the fly" (no reboots required, no data loss).
Add new filesystems "on the fly". No reboot required.
And more!
IT's part of Linux now. Stop depending on Windows solutions. LVM has been with unix for many years. IBM pioneered it a long time ago. It has since been adopted by nearly every other vendor under the sun.
There's no need for the continued dependance on Windows based solutions. It's an insult to the Linux community to do so.
JMHO-YMMV
