Do you refer, by any chance, to 'fips'? If yes, then it can
cut FAT FSes, that's all. I used it a lot of times, it's very
cool, but can't handle anything else. GNU parted (as someone
else mentioned) is much more feature rich, but I never used
it, so I still can't recommend it. And, BTW, parted, unlike
fdisk, can update the kernel's view of partitions even when
some of them are busy. This is very important for machines
that can't easily be rebooted for such things.
