Depends on the filesystem type: I use reiserfs and the tool is

partition).


I've reduced reiserfs partitions, and it works. Takes a *lot* longer
than increasing their size, natch.


I wouldn't try it with important data that has not been backed up. Okay
I'm lying, I totally would. But *you* shouldn't.
