yeah, now it worked ((: thx!

hm, no offense but maybe the manpage text should be a little clearer in this 
respect...like not saying 

"-s [+|-]size   Set the new size in bytes"

but 

e.g. 
"-s [+]-] value     increases (+) / decreases (-) filesystem size by value"

and/or maybe use better values in the shrinking example so that it is quite 
clear that u have to specify the amount by which size is changed and not the 
new size (:


anyways, thx for ur really fast help, now my thinkpad can hibernate ((;
