If you want to try it you should save your important data. You may want to run hpfsck or the Apple Sos Disk util too, before and after running parted with this patch. Please also report me success or failure, as well as messages from fsck utils.

I looked at the dmesg output and didn't remember seeing anything. After doing some more investigation, I discovered that I could accomplish what I wanted to do by first resizing my ext3 file system using resize2fs and then using parted to resize the partition. I successfully turned a ~115GB partition into a ~20GB partition. I did it all using the rescue boot from the redhat9 install CD.
