I remember someone compiling this and it worked rather well. Well I lost it during a reflash yadda yadda, whoever compiled this, is it possible to "resend" this to me?

Hi Bam,
I built this thing. I was going to make an ipk for it, but to be honest it's not complex enough to deserve it. Just put it on the internal flash, a CF, or SD card -- somewhere other than device you want to repartition.
Usage is simple enough - if you want to resize /dev/hda3, for instance, then "umount /dev/hda3" (maybe umount all the
partitions, for safety). Run parted: "parted /dev/hda". From within
parted you can resize or create partitions (best have the mains power
attached during a resize, there can be quite a bit of disk activity as
parted moves data to free up disc blocks).
This version of parted cannot create ext3 filesystems, but it can make
the partition to contain them. I advise running fsck.vfat over the
resized partitions; while I've always found parted to be good, resizing
vfat filesystems on the fly can still cause problems.
Attached is the gzipped binary, which was built some time ago on a 3100 (running cacko, as I recall).
