In your opinion.

No, you don't.

The fact of the matter is, in MID po5sui$6le$1@dont-email.me, Aragorn
indicated that he needed someone else to speak to the C program you
posted in MID po5r0v$e7e$1@news.mixmin.net.  I reviewed the code and
came to the conclusion that 

 - it does what it says
 - I cannot confirm with 100% certainty that it does so in a manner that
   will guarantee safety of data, either from internal (i.e. a bug) or
   external (i.e. user-error) sources.

It is up to the reader, then, to determine if the potential risks
involved with running the program are acceptable to them; as well as
ensure they're taking proper precautions.

Actual experience and facts -> "Messing with partitions, and the
filesystems contained therein *can be* and often *is* dangerous".
