Notice: I said "beginner". Beginner CAN work with PM, but I'm sure he doesn't know how to correct, say, parted. Since I'm still a beginner... If we say "take it yourself" to every newbie... I think, they won't like it.
And I'm not alone here, many people can't use parted. But I really didn't care much about reading all the info I should to... Again, learning is the only way out in Linux.
Thanks for punishing me anyway. If I succeed in parted someday, I'll post here... or there.

The only way I succeeded in resizing ext3:
1) create ext2
2) tune2fs -j /dev/xxx
3) now I can resize ext3 with "parted"

When I cannot resize ext3 (it says: "No Implementation: This ext2 filesystem
has a rather strange layout! Parted can't resize this (yet)."
1) after checking this newly created ext3 (using "tune2fs -j") with
"fsck.ext3". Probably "fsck.ext3" adds additional information, and "parted"
can't work with it.
2)after creating ext3 directly with "mkfs -t ext3 /dev/xxx", or using PM
(namely, 8.0).

To say more, Disk Drake (with Mdk9.2) works fine with ext3.

But I cannot download Disk Drake from it's home page - link doesn't work.
Can anyone tell me another place where Disk Drake can be?
Thanks.
