What about: Create a new ext2 partition on the end of the free space, mount it temporary and copy everything over from the old ext2 partition (use tar or cp -a to preserve permissions). After that, delete the old ext2 partition: you'd have ext2 | reiser | free space | ext2 You should now be able to grow the reiser partition (I hope :-) )... I would not recommend using PQMagic... I don't think it'll recognise the reiser partition... I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with surprise...

also sprach Guy Van Sanden (on Mon, 08 Jan 2001 03:46:26PM +0000):
If I'm correct, if you have reiser, and there is free space on the drive, you can grow the partition.
is there a way to move partitions around? i.e. have something like
| ext2 | reiserfs | ext2 | <free> |
and you want | ext2 | reiserfs | ext2 | |
which means moving the ext2 partition back first before resizing reiserfs.
what about the surprise package? i'd hate to be using partitionmagic or anything else that runs on micro$oft crap.
