Partition Magic will only change information on the partition table. It
will work for vfat partitions.
Under Linux, you can create a file system which is smaller than the
partition it is on. If you change partition size with Partition Magic
you are not modifying the file system itself. The file system remains
unchanged.
To increase a file system, first copy the whole data to another file
system. Then recreate the original file system to the new size. Then
restore it.

I installed suse 8.2 to a partiotion that was too small, after I realized
it, i expanded the sizer of it using partition magic, and it worked, linux
still botts and everything. using the yast partition utility, it shows the
new size,(until I try to edit it, it shows the old size) It is incorrect in
the lower left-hand corner where it shows the mounted volume space. I also
keep getting error messages reporting the old size when I go to install new
programs, and if I try to go adjust the size of the partition using yast, it
reports the old size. It seems like there would be a really elementary fix
for this.
thanks,
