A couple of problems with that:

1) BUGS
     Doesn't currently support shrinking FFSv2 file systems

Is it still so?

2)

DESCRIPTION
     resize_ffs resizes a file system.

My understanding is that resize_ffs resize a partition within the bsd
slice, not the whole MBR partition. I thought that "fdisk -u" would
have done the job.

3) It's not relatively easy.
