I have resized Arch's partition from 20gb to 6gb by issuing the following command

tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/(archs partition)
e2fsck -v -f /dev/(archs partition)

and then i used resize2fs for resizing

resize2fs /dev/(archs partition) 6000M

tune2fs -j /dev/(archs partition)
e2fsck -v -f /dev/(archs partition)

now the operation is successful but when i run

fdisk -l /dev/hda

it still shows the same number of cylinders occupied by the archs partition. Now how to alter the number of cylinders occupied.

This isnt a ArchLinux related Question.
This is a Filesystem Question.. you run ext2?
Well you might want to look at Partitions and Boot Loaders
I say might since I am not certain.. I havnt read it I scanned it.

Well, hope that helps.
