Filesystems usually full their partitions in these days of
flexible sized partitions, it is fairly common to increase the
partition, and then resize the file system.

I'm not aware of a generic resize ext3 - now if you had used
ext2 or reiserfs I could help you :(

Backup (twice), reinstall, restore.

Probably easier just to make a new partition (and filesystem)
for some huge chunk of stuff you have in "/", like "/home", and
copy the stuff across.
