[edlug] Resizing ext3 partitions?

[Ian Stuart <ian.stuart@xxx.xxx.xxx>]

I want to re-partition my mp3 disk (currently 1 disk, 1 partition: 56G
total, 11G used :-)

As the largest available space is 3.4G, I don't think I'll be able to
gzip my mp3's off the hard disk.

parted only does ext2 partitions, so that's not available to me.

Any other suggestions?

(after that, it's going to have to be a very nice word with a sys-admin,
and "borrow" 11G of space on a server for a day or so - which is a
favour I'd rather keep for another day ;-)

Oh, and if I can all this without having to drop out of multi-user mode,
so much the better ;-)
