parted was originally developed to replace fdisk and provide
functionality not found in fdssk.
Some of the bigger differences were
- parted supports GUID Partition Table
- parted supports disks > 2TB
- parted allows partition resizing
Red Hat recommends parted over fdisk as of RHEL 6.
A nice discussion at
