As recently examined in the following bug report there is no tool to resize reiser4 file systems. The developers haven't produced one. Bug 771580 - Allow resizing [shrink] of a reiser4 partition. Marking this bug as a duplicate and closing. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 771580 ***
