gparted is pretty damned good.

Running from a normal user account at the command line pops up

"Since GParted can be a weapon of mass destruction only root may run it."

I recently had to return a laptop HD to our IT helldesk, as I'd inadvertently filled it with the contents of a bottle of Mr Smirnoff's finest.

The next time they give me the same funny look, I'll show them your pic.

"Yes sir, we have finished fragmenting your disk."

"Don't you mean de-fragmenting"

"Not exactly, no..."
