Actually, I've never tried using them (such as the canonical FIPS
resizer, since I've never run DOS on my *own* boxen) so whether they
work or not is a moot point, at least for me. 

I've had to move partitions around (such as when they were too smail or
two big) and rename or use them in a different way. Basically I go
about it the same way - just have enough free space in your largest
partition to accomodate the contents of another one, tar up the
partition of interest, remake/empty/what have you, copy the data back
and edit /etc/fstab to suit.
