from bug 5665 The newer e2fs tools are smart enough that if you use the resize2fs tool to do the resizing with a mounted filesystem it will do the same thing ext2online used to do. They just made it so instead of having two tools you have one smart tool.

That being said the documentation may need to be updated to handle the sme8 case. However there are a lot of enhanced things you can do with the new tools in 8 that you can't do in 7. I'd like to see an entire new page explaining how to expand/grow your filesystem on 8 instead of just adding notes for where things are different.
