Hey, nah - dosnt seem be a problem. i did manage to fix the filesystem size by using the command 'resize-reiserfs /dev/hdb1' (was susjested by a friend) thanks for your replies Nich Steicke - http://narthollis.net -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Did you grow/shrink reiserfs on those partitions after you resized them?On 3/14/06, Nich Steicke <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote:Hey everyone,I have recently moved, and resized the partitions on my 120GB hdd (/dev/hdb).
