GParted is one of the most well known GUI tools in the Linux world and the most popular partition managing tool on Linux as well. It’s a free and open-source utility like every other widely used Linux app out there. GParted is written in C++ and being a tool with a GUI, it’s rather easy to use for anyone. The app can be installed on most popular Linux distros including Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, and their derivatives. It’s available to download on the distro’s software center and from its official website. Like most partition managers, GParted can help you create and resize unmounted partitions only.
So if you’ve installed GParted on your Linux distro, you can’t work with the partition your Linux system is installed on. So to do that, you’ll need the Live USB version of GParted. Apart from that, the Live USB version or the installable versions are very much the same things.
GParted basics
Gparted For Mac Os X 10.7
- Launch GParted and enter the root password (your password, in most cases) when asked. It will take a few seconds to load up all the necessary information about the mounted or unmounted disks and partitions.
- Select the disk you want to partition from the drop-down menu in the top-right.
- If you see a lock icon next to a hard-disk partition, it means that partition is currently mounted and cannot be resized, deleted, or anything else. To unmount it, just right-click on it and select Unmount. The lock should then disappear allowing you to modify the partition. If you see an error like “Couldn’t unmount..target is busy”, it might be because it’s a live partition that your OS is installed on. This won’t be a problem with a Live USB.

- You can now Delete a partition to create a new one in another format or you can resize the partition. While resizing is relatively safer, you’ll have to make sure you don’t resize enough to delete the data stored. For instance, if you have 4GB of data on a partition, you should probably keep its size well over 4GB. To resize, Right-click on it and select Resize/Move.
- GParted lets you drag and resize partitions as well as input the exact size from the keyboard.
- As you can see in the screenshot below, you can enter any values in the text fields labeled Free space preceding or Free space following. It is generally easier and safer to resize a partition from the tail end, that is from the right (Free space following). When you’re ready, click on the Resize/Move button.
- You’ll now have an Unallocated partition. It cannot be used until you allocate a file system. This can also be done with a right-click. Select New from the context menu and then enter a size for the partition if you still want to save some space for another partition. You can leave the default size as it is if you intend to use the entire space for the partition. Select a filesystem of your choice and give it a label (optional). Click Add when you’re ready.

OS X can non-destructively re-partition HFS+ partitions. Check out diskutil in the man pages. Not a GUI solution though.
In Tiger, the Disk Utility GUI does allow you to repartition a drive but it is a DESTRUCTIVE repartition (meaning that all your data will be lost!).
But in Tiger starting in 10.4.6, you can use the 'diskutil resizeVolume' command in the Terminal to NON-DESTRUCTIVELY resize a Mac supported partition. (ie You SHOULD not lose any data but backup just to be on the sage side)
Don't expect to read the Man Pages on this command. Apple has NOT updated the man pages (still true in 10.4.11). But if you type 'diskutil resizeVolume' in the terminal, you will get the details on how to use this command.
If you want a GUI on Tiger, use GParted. It is a GREAT Linux tool which is really a PartitionMagic Clone. Just boot the CD and use the GUI. Gparted Supports MANY more Filesystems than Apple's Disk Utility GUI or the diskutil resizeVolume command.
If you are on Leopard, you can use the new Disk Utility GUI which is supposed to support NON-DESTRUCTIVE partitioning. But I do not know how good it is.
Bottom Line - Repartitioning ANY Drive is risky no matter what OS you are using. It is always a good idea to back up your data on a DIFFERENT physical drive before attempting to repartition. Better be Safe than Sorry!

...GParted can shrink HFS+ file systems but it can't grow them.
Also, we should careful about the terminology here since it's important for understanding partition and file system management. HFS+ is a file system, not a type of partition as mentioned in another comment.

You have a MBP so your drive uses the GUID (GPT) partition scheme. Disk Utility can re-size and re-partition non-destructively. Consult the DU help.
Be sure to backup first just in case.
