I'm almost positive it doesn't. Partition Magic also needs to
understand the underlying filesystem, not just the partition table, as
almost any operation aside from expanding a single partition on a disk
with only one partition plus unused space would result in actually
moving data around.. PM 8.0 (should be the latest I believe) can't
touch Linux ReiserFS, so I'd be highly surprised if it understood UFS2.
