you can change the filesystem while it is running but you are asking for a disaster to happen ... essentially, you will be creating files and then messing up the filesystem underneath it ... it would be similar to jumping into a sand pit expecting a fairly solid spot but getting quick sand instead ...
i strongly advise against resizing filesystems while they are running or in use but if you really want to try it -- try testing the process you envision on a "disposable" server with LVM enabled and confirm if the risks involved are acceptable ...

mounting
mounting(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual mounting(7)
NAME
mounting - event signalling that a filesystem is mounting
SYNOPSIS
mounting DEVICE=DEVICE MOUNTPOINT=MOUNTPOINT TYPE=TYPE OPTIONS=OPTIONS [ENV]...
DESCRIPTION
The mounting event is generated by the mountall(8) daemon when it is about to mount a filesystem. mountall(8) will wait for all services
started by this event to be running, all tasks started by this event to have finished and all jobs stopped by this event to be stopped
before proceeding with mounting the filesystem.
The DEVICE, MOUNTPOINT, TYPE and OPTIONS environment variables contain the values of the fstab(5) fields for this mountpoint.
EXAMPLE
A tool that should be run before mounting the /var filesystem might use:
start on mounting MOUNTPOINT=/var
task
