I have had quite a bit of success with QTParted even with ntfs partitions - but I think it is dangerous with reiser partitions - what do you think Nick and Howard?Greetings, Can cfdisk be used to re-size partitions containing data? I know Partition Magic can do it but I find that PM always fails eventually, starting with odd quirks happening at some stage, leading to more serious problems further down the line.
If cfdisk can do it, how reliable do you think it is in the long term?
Howard's operating system previously known as SuSE certainly knows that qtparted is dangerous on reiserfs.
it is an ex-partition, shuffled off its mortal coil and joined the choir invisible, if it wasn't nailed to the inside of his computer it'd be pushing up daisies (etc etc)
