"Best known for a recent series of posts on Sun's ZFS filesystems, Drew Thaler has worked on many projects at Infinite Loop in the last decade. One of his areas of expertise is filesystems and optical discs, on which he is working right now at Sony but which also is the underlying theme on his blog, aptly titled 'Recording artist'. We contacted him to ask some questions and he very generously answered providing a lot of interesting and background info and tidbits on Apple and its technologies and inner workings." And another Leopard review.

Consider resizing the partition without a backup as a real-world test. Seriously. Many (most?) users aren't going to know what a backup is, even with the presence of Time Machine. Of those who do know what a backup is, I doubt that many of them will perform a complete backup because they won't have a drive large enough to hold all of their data. So if Apple makes a process like partion resizing transparent, it better be reliable.
