With parted I could enlarge my root partition (a few months ago) -
but reiserfs was dead:-<< parted offers to re-size the file system
automatically; for reiserfs I had to emerge a special package
(reiserfsprogs, IIRC) containing a shared library for managing
areiserfs from any old program. But parted messed it up:-(
Partition sizes and limits are shown (to be given) in decimal
fractions of megabytes:-O I'll never touch that program again.
