Uh sorry, must've been asleep when I wrote that, it was about changing 
the size of a partition after the filesystem was added.
Somehow I managed this last week when I split a 60MB partition into two 
with the first half of it glued on the end of my /usr and the last half 
as swap. (The swap bit wasn't a problem obviously).

Not sure about how I managed this, but df seems to have the correct idea 
and nothing complains either when getting geometries/fsck/mounting.

I Must've been very lucky, well, it wasn't an important computer and it 
seemed like a fun thing to try and do =)
