Might anyone have any thoughts on how to shrink one's reiser formatted
root filesystem in a SLES8 zLinux box?

I'm trying to separate out some of the more volatile filesystems like
/var and /tmp from an older machine's root, and I'd like to shrink the
existing root filesystem, rather than adding another dasd to the
volume group, if possible.

Booting into single user mode, and mounting root as read only doesn't
work, reiser_resize still complains the filesystem is online.

My only other thought is to custom build a initrd with enough tools to
do a filesystem resize, and hack the initrd's rc script to not do a
pivot root from the ramdisk to the real filesystem.  THat's way to
much work though, comparing to just adding another mod-3 or mod-9 or so.

Thanks for any thoughts!
