Don't use FIPS, you need to defragment free space before hand,
as it just bit fucks the partition table. parted is much more
sophisticated
as it dynamically changes the structures on FAT/VFAT/EXT2 partitions.
Actually partition magic contracted the guy(s) who wrote it to add
support for ext2 resizing to partition magic. If you want a higher
level interface to it (more like partition magic) there are a few front
ends,
like nParted.
