I'm about to finish "full" relocation support for the resizer than planned
to integrate it with parted. However since parted is pretty dead (patches
aren't integrated, emails not answered, web is not updated) I changed my
mind, I'm afraid. People can boot anytime a CD with QTParted and use it to
create, resize, etc things.

BTW, a lot of people trashes reiserfs with qtparted. It's said (read
qtparted forums) the problem is in the reiserfs_resizer but I don't know
the details.

Functions documented in the source.

What's your specific problem? I have several but I can't guess what you
mean.
