Non-destructively resize ext3 on PPC

[Lewis Coleman]

I would think the question should "Why should you resize a partition, 
when you can just buy another hard drive (cheap enough!!)?".  I would 
not want to risk losing some of my files by resizing a partition (I bet 
all the software says "Be sure to back up all your files!).

WAIT!!  I know why--Because we are all GEEKS!!  (I may not resize, but 
I do stuff just as dangerous!)
