Hi!

I'm on-like, but seems missed mentioned emails somehow.

Specking about the problem. Yes, I know that there is something bad in
progsreiserfs with resizefs part. 

But I should say that I have no any details and moreover, nobody was so
kind to send me at least something but complains that it does not work,
nevertheless somebody promised to give more details of crashes.

So guys, I say again. I will fix bugs if I will know more about.

What I need to know is the following:

(1) was reiserfs consistent before resizing or not (what last reiserfsck
said before resizing).

(2) what version of reiserfs was used.
(3) sequence of actions or/and detailed description of what was done.
(4) is it visible using both parted and qtparted?
(5) more any details.

Thanks.
