What's crap about PM8? I don't know parted, what does it have that PM

On more than one occasion I have seen it screw up the geometry of the
drive, with friends who have resized with it.

Ok Kai:

So how do I use parted to use that spare space now? (I have Partition Magic - 
not sure which version - and it has support for ext3 (according to the menus) 
but it only offers the possibility of moving the root partition and expanding 
the SWAP space! It is possible that this could allow me to then allocate part 
of that enlarged swap space to the end of root but it seems long-winded and 
risky.)

This is 1Gb that I could use nicely in RedHat7.2
