I am experimenting with resierfs and have successfully created a resier
partition onto which I copies my Debian root filesystem. Everything works
really well, except that now I want to delete my old ext2 partition and
extend the new reiser partition to use up the freespace.

I have spent ages trying to find out exactly what to do. I understand I
can grow the reiser partition by adding a mount command to my /etc/fstab.
The problem I have is what to put as the 'blocks' entry.

Currently I have:

hda2                            Primary   Win95 FAT32  6325.25
hda4        Boot        Primary   Linux     3569.78
hda5                    Logical   Linux ext2  10594.17

I want to remove /dev/hda5 and grow /dev/hda4 (reiserfs) to fill the
space.

df gives me:

/dev/hda4              3485968   2311752   1174216  67% /
/dev/hda5             10187124   2466712   7410040  25% /mnt

Can anyone help? Hold my hand a little?!

Many thanks.
