Hi Matt
I asked a similar questions once and was recommended parted (and qparted) -
didn't end up needing it, but it may be a start while waiting for a real
answer.

Subject: repartition on the fly?

hi,

 a server I've just inherited has just a single 75 gig non-swap
partition (about 70 gigs free) ;
I'd like to repartition it, with a minimum of downtime. Are there any
tools that will either repartition, or at least confine the filesystem
to a part of an existing partition, without shutting the system down?
I imagine the answer's likely to be no...

thanks,
matt
