DON'T use PM to resize a linux partition. While they
apparently have ext2 support I actually tried using it once
to resize my linux root partition and it screwed up alot
of files. Their support for ext2 isn't great, unless they've
fixed it since then. 

The other option is to just create a new partition for say 
an existing directory, say /usr/local or something. I don't
know off hand if you'll run into any problems doing it for
/usr itself though. Then copy (probably with cp -a) 
everything in your /??? to the new
partition, rename /??? to /???.old, mount the new partition
to /??? then you can rm -R -f /???.old  if it's something 
that's not vital you could just move it instead of copying it.

Cheers,
Sheldon.
