extend the size of already existing ext2 image

Is there a possibility to extend the size of already existing ext2 image?

This image is a ramdisk based root file system.

I already have an image. but I want to extend the size of this image.

Is it possible to extend the size of this image.

Definitely back up before you do this, but it worked for me on a test fs (assuming your disk image is called foo.img):

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=foo.img count=0 bs=1M seek=2000   # assuming target size is 2000M
$ e2fsck -f foo.img
$ resize2fs foo.img
