Partition Magic v4 and v5 both work well as far as resizing, copying,
moving Linux partitions. I've never had it do any harm to the ext2fs
file system itself.
However, when you use PM to resize/move a bootable partition that has
Lilo installed in it's boot sector, be prepared to boot with a floppy

but I found that it would corrupt logical partitions made under linux
fdisk. Basically it would change the partition type of the extended
partition which would hide the logical partitions. And if I recall

gig drive to an 8.4 gig drive and it's working great so far, b
