Why? fdisk can also be used to destroy data on ntfs partitions. ;P In any case, I've heard very good things about ntfsresize -- it's based on the excellent open documentation of NTFS now available from the ntfs project on sourceforge -- and several other distributions have been using it for a while. I think I have a higher confidence level with this code than I ever did with FIPS. I would love to see someone take on the project of integrating ntfsresize support into d-i (probably into partman?).
