  Yea, I used it and it *seemed* to work okay.  At least, linux still
  ran but recognized the "partition" as being smaller.  However, I never
  could get my partition table rewritten properly.  I ended up moving
  everything to another partition, deleting and then remaking the
  partitions and moving stuff around again. Kind of defeated the whole
  purpose.
