gparted
It will show you your system drive/drives and will do all the manipulation
you desire. A
unique feature is that it will resize the extended partition and keep the
logical
partitions intact if you need that feature. If it is not on your system
yum install gparted
To date I have not lost data but as always, backups are in order.
