Surely you can use some network and/or 2nd HDD magic to preserve the 
data during format or does HFS have some dodgy stuff in it (I wouldn't 
be a bit surprised but I can't think what sort of stuff) which won't 
allom this?

And is that "HFS+ partitions can't be resized" or "HFS+ partitions can't 
be resized at the moment"?
