Initial Comment:
This what i get when trying to resize the HFS+ partition on my main hard drive :

I'm trying to resize (shrink) a 55GB HFS+ partition on my G4 iBook,
kernel 2.6.14.3. The filesystem has been checked and re-checked, this is
not the problem. I know i have enough free space to shrink it by 10GB
(i've got 23GB of free space on it).

I know this may not be very useful informations, but if someone (apart
from Leslie ;-)) could help me on this, i could provide additional
information if i know what to check in the code (i saw the
--enable-hfs-extract-fs in the configure, but it produces some big
files : about 100MB, so ...)
