[plug] creating more partitions

[smclevie]

Hi all,

I wonder if someone could tell me the simplest and easiest way to create a 
couple more partitions on a drive?

The drive is fully utilized (no space not partitioned) and I want to create 
a couple more partitions.

How to do without pain and loss?

It is a Debian stable with Ext3 partitions at the moment.

Use 'parted'??  Is reliable??  No special tricks??  Will mount successfully??

(I think in a Windows environment one would use 'Partition Magic')

Cheers,
Steve.
