Hello,

on our SLES9 server we would like to resize ( expand ) a reiserfs 
partition. Is this possible without any data loss ? ( We have 70 gigs of 
data )

Thanks
Andreas

Absolutely.

You just expand your partition and then mount it with "resize=auto".

As a followup, if you're using a device which can be resized online you
can also online resize reiserfs with "-oresize=auto,remount"
