Acronis OS Selector 5.0 can - without destroying data. I've resized, copied and moved ext2, ext3 and reiserfs partitions without any problem. I wouldn't be without it. I used to say that about Partition Magic but I won't upgrade it now - even if PowerQuest do eventually include support for other linux filesystems than ext2 and swap - it's far too costly for an imperfect tool. -- Peter Ruskin, Wrexham, Wales.
