GNU Parted's ext2 resizer (which forked from ext2resize) supports
big-endian machines.  It is stable, i.e. has gone through a
stable release, and has been available as such for about half a year.

Parted can't do online resizing.  Also, you will probably want to
read the section on LVM in the manual...
