We don't allow our admins to use Parted to change partition tables on production servers. We feel that this is rational because the documentation explicitly says that it might be buggy: https://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/parted.html "GNU Parted was designed to minimize the chance of data loss. For example, it was designed to avoid data loss during interruptions (like power failure) and performs many safety checks. However, there could be bugs in GNU Parted, so you should back up your important files before running Parted."
