resize_reiserfs

27 Jan 2003

      I would like to expand a Reiser file system in both directions--I have free 
space both in front and behind my Reiser partition.  If I understand the 
documentation correctly, I can *only* use tools like resize_reiserfs and 
parted to expand the back end of the partition.  Do I need to wipe it all out 
and start over from scratch?

  I have Partition Magic 7.0 installed under Windows 2000 on this same 
machine.  PM thinks my Reiser partition is ext2, and is apparently willing to 
try to move it for me.  Is this likely to work?

  Is there some way to convert from reiserfs to ext2 and back?

  Thanks,
