One thing that is missing in Clonezilla is the ability to resize imaged
partitions. If my HDD crashes, I tend to buy the most competitive one in
terms of "price:size" ratio. If the disk gets bigger, I guess there
would be "unpartitioned space" left (which would result in unused HDD
space). On the other hand, on some servers I need to size down, onto a
smaller disk: that's not feasable with Clonezilla, as for now... Any
suggestions (without going too much OT)? Eventually also on my email, if
it'd be OT.
