"One problem that looked more alarming than it actually was occurred when I used Leopard's ability (shared with Vista) to resize disk partitions without shutting down or losing data. After I used the Disk Utility to resize my boot partition from 300 to 200 GB and create a 100 MB partition in the empty space, the Utility displayed a disk map that made the larger partition look as if it were one-fourth the size of the smaller one."

Your putting your files at risk just by even doing this sort of thing, data should be backup first before even attempting to do this, even reviewers lack simple knowledge.Edited 2007-10-31 20:45 Wed, 31 Oct 2007 20:44:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (SlackerJack) Comments Real world test ... http://osnews.com/thread?282157 http://osnews.com/thread?282157

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.
