Have heard good things about parted (gparted?), but typically do the old fashioned thing of backing up partitions, repartitioning, and restoring to partitions. With the luxury of over-the-net archival (though I still keep current tape backups), this isn't terribly slow. Fact is that repartition-in-place *still* requires data backups for failure recovery. -- Karsten M.
