quick question about ext2/3 resizing

[Peter Jay Salzman]

i'm sure you've been asked this a million times, but i can't find the
archives for this mailing list...

i just used parted for the first time (to resize /var).  it was quite
easy to use.  the only snag is that i couldn't get it to use the reiser
libs.  it kept complaining about about library version mismatch.  my
parted version is

ii  parted         1.6.2-1        The GNU Parted disk partition resizing progr

and the reiser libs i installed is progsreiserfs-0.3.1-rc3.

but anyway, that wasn't what i wanted to ask (i ended up making /var
into an ext3 partition).

keeping the filesystem start at the same location is a pretty dreadful
constraint.

are there any future plans to allow parted to change the start of an
ext2/3 partition?  or is this just not possible for these filesystems?

i'd appreciate it if you can cc me your replies (or email me the
location of an archive for this list).

much thanks!
pete
