  Well, NTFS support in the Linux kernel has been pretty marginal
historically (it's not a simply filesystem by any means, there isn't 
complete documentation and compared to FAT it had a rather smaller userbase;
that might well change with Windows XP). There is a new implementation these 
days, and its author presumably might eventually support NTFS partition 
resizing, but I imagine he's busy enough right now making it handle things 
like writing files reliably...
