There should be support for hfs+ resizing in parted or any libparted using tool. The same tool should be able ro resize ext2 or something such, altough you could simply add an additional partition if needed. I have never tested those, and elementary prudence would be to make a full backup of both partitions before resizing, well at least of the macos partition. If something goes awry, please fill a bug report against the parted package. And maybe doing a backup of your partition table (simple dd if=/dev/hda of=mybackupfile count=1024) or something such would also be welcome. Friendly, Sven Luther
