Growing an HFS file system

I have an HFS+ filesystem (on a powerpc-mac style partition) that I need to
grow. parted/gparted seem only able to shrink it. Is there some other tool
that's able to grow an HFS+ filesystem. I looked at tools under macosx as
well, but macosx is only able to resize an HFS+ partition if it's on a
GUID-style partition.

Maybe there's a way to switch from powerpc-mac-style partition to
guid-partition, then resize, than switch back?

I kinda think you are out of luck on that one, but you might get more
expert advice on the debian-ppc list, or failing that Ubuntu's or
Gentoo's PPC mailing lists or forums.

Good luck!
