Well I was making mine smaller, so it was a bit different. I used resizereiserfs to make it smaller, then I used fdisk to resize the partition. I screwed up on the size of the partition (the partition, not the filesystem, I made it too small), so I just went and fdisk'ed again and got the right size.
