Or better yet, include such functionality in Nautilus.

Although I understand why this falls to a partitioning tool, it would be nice if this was in the file manager.

@kreep: Your name serves you well. Who are you trying to fool?
Gparted doesn't have a renaming function.

This is a dupe, but GParted should be installed by default and integrated into Nautilus.
