Re: [PLUG] resizing ext3fs?

Thanks, Art, but I was the impetus behind that thread. I just wanted to 
see if anyone had any experience with ext3fs. I will forge ahead with 
GNU Parted and report my results back to the ML as soon as I get around 
to it. It might not be for a little while, as I just procured 512MB of 
RAM for my laptop, so I might not need swap anymore... ;-)
