Thank you, but that doesn't appear to do what I need.  What I've currently got 
is two 120G drives.  about 116G on each drive is part of a raid1 (mirror).  
On top of the Raid devices is a ResierFS.  I would like to change it so that 
the RAID partition on each drive is more like 100G -- I'm pretty sure I can 
change the reiserFS to be smaller, but I've also go to change the partion 
sizes - I know there are tools for doing that "in general", but I doubt they 
support "Raid-ness".

Backing up could be a challenge, because that's what the RAID device is FOR. 
Backuping important data.
