If you use Logical Volumn manager (LVM), then you can automatically

have a lot of faith in the tool, so what I usually do is create a new
partition with the size I want, and copy the contents of the old
partition to the new partition. After creating the new partition,
update your fstab with the new partition and reboot your system with
the new partition replacing the old. You can then mount the old
partition to a temporary mount point and drop it. Do not unmount the
old because the system knows about it until the reboot when it will
point to the new partition. If it is not a critical partition like
/var /boot /, /tmp, or swap, then you can just umount it and mount the
new partition on the old mount point.

That was my second mistake ;-) I didn't use LVM... The way I saw it is,
since I only have one HD, why should I need LVM? Now, from your post, it
seems that LVM has advantages even for single HD, is that right?
By the way, since I didn't use LVM, and wat to increase the size of /
(root) taking space from /home, am I just screwed?
Thanks,
Gustavo.
