This is the way to go when enlarging a partition:
1. Expand the partition with fdisk
2. resize_reiserfs /dev/whatever
However shrinking a partition is probably more complicated: you should
first use resize_reiserfs to shrink the filesystem (the on-disk
data-structure) and then only use fdisk to shrink the partition (the
space allocated on the disk).
This would have been easy if both would have used the same units. Or
somewhat compatible units, for that fact.
