Ok, so I used resize_reiserfs to resize a partition and then I used fdisk to rewrite the table. The only problem is that I can't mount the partitions. Here is the rundown:

--------------------START-------------------
---before resize
-- /dev/hdh1 = 39999.54M

#resize_reiserfs -s -10G /dev/hdh1

--reboot--
--(please note that the first print-out from fdisk has the wrong blocks, i didn't write them down)

#fdisk /dev/hdh
Command (m for help) p

/dev/hdh1 1 4136 3195948 83 Linux

Command (m for help) d

Command (m for help) p

Command (m for help) n

Command (m for help): n

e extended
p primary partition (1-4)

Command (m for help): p

/dev/hdh1 1 3648 29302528+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdh2 3649 4863 9759487+ 83 Linux

Command (m for help): w
--writing

#mount /dev/hdh1 /mnt/hdh
mount: special device /dev/hdh1 does not exist

#tail /var/log/messag
Apr 9 20:54:58 localhost kernel: hdh: hdh1 hdh2
Apr 9 20:55:01 localhost udev[2736]: removing device node '/dev/hdh1'
Apr 9 20:55:01 localhost udev[2738]: removing device node '/dev/hdh2'

--------------------------END---------------------------------
so there we go, for some reason /dev/hdh1 and /dev/hdh2 are getting removed. can anyone help?

Maybe try:
See if the results are satisfying, and if they are, remove the -n.
This should make the /dev/hda devices, but I can't grant this resolves your problem.
The -n ensures the command does nothing, only print what it would have done without -n.

Well, I found my solution in a thread similar to this, yet it seems no one has had any quite like mine but this solution did the trick:

First, I got the partitions from /proc/partitions
~ #cat /proc/partitions
3 0 13339844 hda
3 1 13339336 hda1
33 0 13339844 hde
33 1 12835903 hde1
33 2 498015 hde2
33 64 6353235 hdf
33 65 6353203 hdf1
34 0 10022040 hdg
34 1 10022008 hdg1
34 64 39062500 hdh
34 65 29302528 hdh1
34 66 9759487 hdh2

And then used mknod to add the hdh partitions
! Useage: mknod [OPTION]. . . NAME TYPE [MAJOR MINOR]
~ #cd /dev
/dev #mknod b hdh1 34 65
/dev #mknod b hdh2 34 66

and then set the permissions to the same as your other hard disk devices and you're set!

I'm happy for you!

the MAKEDEV I mentioned is a script that uses mknod. I thought it would be easier than using mknod, but you managed it anyway!

A good advice is to make a backup of important HD-data is:
This saves the partition table in format suitable for later input to the file hda.prt and the masterboot-record to the file hda.mbr. That way you always have a back up of some inportant data.
I once needed it, and if I didn't had it, I had lost my filesystem.
