Except when you have more than 2 or 3 kernels for testing and need space for those, the "default" (Gentoo Handbook) value is 38MB... But you're right, reiserfs is not a good fs for /boot. > And since /boot is never mounted except when installing a new kernel, > journaling is just overkill. > Or 500mb swap - you can reduce it to 0 and use a swapfile. > swapfiles are not necessary slower than swappartitions, with 2.6 kernels. Too much discussion over this (file or partition use for swap), so, I won't say anything. To the question, resize is not a very "secure" operation, heh, I don't like it because I had "issues" like having to erase and rebuild my whole partition table (thus loosing all info, thank God had all ebuilds and configs backed up to another drive), or having to swim over lost+found to find files and move them to the right location.
