[CVALE] Partition resizing

[jon]

Dan;

    Yes, had some issues on partition resizing. 
   
    1. Don't do it at 2:00 AM in an ambulance after a difficult shift 
and drop off to sleep in the seat.  Bad juju!
    2. Don't do it in M$'s Windows in back of an ambulance at 2:00 AM 
when tired.  Bad Bad Juju! It just does not care.
    3. Back up back up back up.... Don't forget to do this at any time.  
Tired or not.
    4. Keep a copy of Knoppix close at hand- just in case of Bad Juju!  
This is a handy item. 
    5. Do it with your breath held and all your prayers done.  It is 
always risky.
    6. Windows=Bad Juju.
    7. I have no idea what juju is, but it has always been bad. 
Juju=bad, bad=windows, so windows is bad juju.  (See above.)
    8. What Kristian said:  and good luck!  Remember to back up BEFORE 
clicking that last button to execute the resizing.
