libparted trashes reiserfs and enjoys it!

[Sam Liddicott]

Please don't use progreiserfs/libparted even though 
http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/ says it comes from namesys.com

I've just been talking to Hans Reiser and all after loosing a load of 
data using qtparted who pointed out that it is NOT written by them and 
is buggy as hell. (Enough to lose my data anyway). They are pulling it 
off their ftp site to avoid misleading people, but can I respectifully 
suggest you shell out to resize_reiserfs to do the dirty work of resizing.

Maybe it's not neat, but its neater than totally trashing 30G of data.

If you won't do this, please change gparted and make it not merely warn 
people to backup data, but point out that there is a >90% chance they 
will actually lose all their data. Oh, and disable the OK button so they 
still can't do it.

If you need further convicing, realise that I felt strongly enough to 
shell out $25 support to namsys for my problem - not to recover the data 
which was long gone, but to help fix it to "save the world" for everyone 
else.

Please...

Sam
