hi!

i just crashed my reiserfs partition upon shrinking the underlying partition
with parted.
is there a way to get my data back?

parted - recover did not help.

there is only one primary partition 120 gb reiser standart (taken all
defaults)
i wanted to shrink by 10% (to move to lvm part for part :-).
there were aproximately 100gb data on this disk.

resize-reiser did the job, now i wanted to shrink the partition too...
fdisk could only change cylinders, but showed inconsistent values for 
the last cylinder, and i did not want to calculate the exact numbers..
so i choose parted.

parted, reisertools, libreiser, kernel (2.4.20), etc are all latest
(self-compiled).
i use debian woody

progsreiserfs-0.3.0.3.tar.gz   
e2fsprogs-1.32.tar.gz                     
reiserfsprogs-3.6.4.tar.gz
linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2                      
parted-1.6.3.tar.gz    (tricky to understand that libreiserfs is not ncluded
in reisertools)


below a screenshot from the short way to data-nirvana:
===========================================

reiser_resize (shrinked fs by 10% ok). 
(was this the reason? does parted wants to resize_reiser by itself?)
