1. I have a similar setup.. grub multi-boot with Win7, Linux and Plan9.
Works great. I use the same way to boot Plan9 as I do to boot Win7
2. You'll need to resize the filesystem first, not sure which fs you have
(fossil?) and if you can resize it. If you can, resize the fs to smaller
than the desired partition size, then resize the partition, and then expand
the fs to fill the partition (new size)
3. If you can't find a way to resize the file system, reinstalling may be
the best bet.
