That I couldn't say, I was responding to Tyler's question. But take a 
look at the gparted live{cd,usb} tool since it shows the commands it is 
running in the detailed output. Should give you an idea. I'd imagine if 
you're resizing a volume down and want to use the unused space for 
another partition fdisk will be involved.
