Well, someone also mentioned GNU Parted, but it seems the parted version 
that comes with woody is old and does not support ReiserFS (the parted 
website says that it supports ReiserFS).

So I installed reiserfsprogs, but I don't know how to use this tool. apt 
installed it without a problem, but I can't find the executable. How 
shall I run this tool?
