You will have to be careful about resizing your reiserFS partition. 
It isn't very safe.  It is kind of like writing to a NTFS partition
with linux.  Not that it can't be done but sometimes it hoses the
partition.

Just thought I would send a word of warning.  If you do resize it make
sure you have a backup, because if it gets hosed it will be hard to
recover your data if you can at all.

(BTW.  I have heard both arguments on both issues.  Soem say it is
okay because of xxx. and others say it will fail everytime.  Neither
is right.  It is somewhere in between.)
