I have tried to expand my reiserfs partition many
times using resize_reiserfs to no avail. Then I
realized I was trying to use free space which was
not formatted as reiserfs, but as ext2! :(
By the way, anyone know how to format some
free space as reiserfs...........? :)

Yes there is:
resize_reiserfs
growing can be done online, without unmounting (though unmounting is
safer), shrinking offline.
Good luck!
