Hello
Could a 'port' be made of resize_reiserfs to cater for reiser4 volume ?
Is it possible ? 
What steps needed ?
What reiser4 code could be used ?
Reason I ask:

- use spare space for another partition after Reiser4 partition is shrunk.
- Utility useful. [with disk volumes increasing] may want to use/shrink,from a large space to a smaller space for Reiser4 partition.
- It allows unused space [on large volumes] to be used for other partition volumes.
- I can test to see shrink process works.
- I think some on the R4 mailing list an make use of this too.
  http://www.spinics.net/lists/reiserfs-devel/
  <reiserfs-devel@vger.kernel.org>

I can test on a Reiser4 volume [uses entire disk].
Only 43% is used so 1.8T [entire disk] - 747G [used] = 57% [free space]

Comment 2 Mike Fleetwood 2016-10-04 08:00:53 UTC
As already discussed in bug 771580, this is a request for reiser file
system developers not GParted application developers.  Closing as not a
GParted bug.
