This is needed indeed, the available partioning features are 'antique',
and not realy usable during use, only when all is 'clean'.

I have a /boot partition 2 cyl big: 15M.
With the new kernels it is too small, so when updating a kernel, i have
to throw the 'oldon' away, before the 'new one can get installed...
That means that during an upgrade, when i am not present, the system
waits, because of the 'problem': it kan not install the kernel....

There is no way to enlarge this partition, or move or split or whatever
partition, because it is nessesary...

Only way is throw everything away, or move it across a network, burn it
on a dvd...

I think, with all the changes, ext2, ext3, reiser, and all the
consequenses, that it is time, for linux, to have a real partitioner,
like Parttion Magic, which batches the needed changes, and completes the
transaction before booting the system.
We must also be able to move, split and delete or create partitions, as
we see fit..

I am not going to sacrifice my'/home' for one cylinder...

How about others?
Are there no others who would want to realy controle the volumes?
