i have been testing parted 1.4.* on a powerpc for mainly the apple partition table support. parted is very nice, its command line interface could still use some of the shortcuts found in fdisk (+500M for example) but its still usable. it does a good job resizing partitions for the most part, i have tested it serveral times with success. however i did find a bug in 1.4.4 where it will often segfault during the resize perhaps corrupting the filesystem, the developer is working on this but is also in the middle of a move from australia to brazille (sp). -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
