    Ext3 Resize issue... Plz help!!

    I had a 7 GB Ext3 partition on which i installed Ubuntu Hardy Heron. As I added more programs i needed more space on Ubuntu partition so I resized my NTFS partition and added 15GB space to the begining of Ext3 partition using Paragon Partition Manager ( a windows utility). But when i booted Ubuntu again the filesystem size was the same (7 GB) and not increased as i thought it would. Now when i check the size on any partition manager it tells me that there is a 22GB Ext3 partition but on checking the filesystem sze from ubuntu it is 7GB.

    Can anyone please tell me how to grow the filesystem up to the partition size.

    Post the output of sudo fdisk -l command here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
