Just a couple of comments on resizing partitions. I tend to prefer to use
qtparted from a standalone KNoppix CD, but the SuSE partitioner will allow
for resize.
However, there are some cases where the partitioner will resize the physical
partition and not the file system. In this case you can use
resize_reiserfs(8) or resize2fs(8) once you have expanded the partition.
I'm not sure if the SuSE partitioner will call the appropriate file system
resizer or not, but you can always run it by hand.
