I found the parted does not. I found qtparted should and says about it still in the act menu that command is turned off! - I just can't use it, notwithstanding the partition is unmounted. Did anybody do the same in FC4? -- Strong <s-strong(a)mail.ru>

Last time I tried parted to resize ext3 it told me I had certain parameters running on the drive preventing resizing. Unfortunately it didn't tell me which parameters were causing it to bomb out. At the time I was in a hurry and couldn't find an answer anywhere so re-installed, but you may want to persist with parted some more, as it's error messages were far more direct then qtparted, which just had everything I wanted greyed out.
