ext2resize



hi....

i just installed lvm and reiserfs ( running debian 2.2 mostly stable with a 
2.4.1 kernel ) and pushed some dirs on the new partitions ( usr var tmp )....

all is fine so far...
now my "ex"-root partition has still a size of 1G, but i think 500M had to 
fit my needs...
now i shrinked the partition to 500M with ext2resize and it worked...
now a df shows me my /dev/hda5 ( that's where my root lies ) is 500M big...
but in fdisk it says /dev/hda5 is still 1G...

can i know just delete /dev/hda5 and recreate it with 500M size ?? ( in 
single user mode i suppose )...
has anyone tried that before ?? is it safe ??

thx in approach

peter
