Resizing Reiser

[Brian Kelsay]

Well, keep in mind that your system was unuseable in the first place.  Those tools are meant to 
shrink or expand working partitions to a new size, not to fix screwups in the partition table or 
overlaps like you had.  

On my work box I have a mysterious partition 4 (NTFS) that randomly refuses to work or gets 
corrupted.  I have lost a ton of data on that partition.  But it is probably something to do with 
me imaging the root partition multiple times a day and one or more of the images not knowing 
anything about that partition.

Essentially, while the tools I found claim to have resized the reiser 
partition successfully, they left corruption in their wake and made the 
system unbootable.  YMMV.
