No free space at all left.  I've just got the one 320MB drive and I used
up all the free space.

I think having a utility (even if run from single user) that would shrink
a filesystem would be a BIG plus.  It shouldn't be too hard to rearange
things on the disk to free up some partition space.

We just spent two days backing up the system and then restoring from tape.
This was certainly NOT a fun filled time.  Now I'm going to leave 20MB or
so unallocated just in case I might need it at some future date.
