I don't know of anything that will move a Reiser partition. Given the current state of things (you have to use cfdisk, with extreme caution, making sure the new partition start point is *exactly* at the old partition start point), I won't even try to resize one.
If you did find such a utility, Graham, you'd probably want to make a backup anyway, meaning half the job is done already. Then you delete the old, create the new, restore the data and you're done. It's almost not worth it, notwithstanding the technical challenges.

Exactly. Seems like the best bet would be to use a backup utility that will let you resize and move partitions during a re-install. I use a disaster recovery system that allows that, but some of the regular backup software probably(?) does also. Greg Wallace
