Creating partitions is done with {c,s}fdisk. I think cfdisk ask where to
create this partition (at the end/at the beginning of the disk).

"man parted", but I guess if cfdisk can do it, parted should be able to do
so as well. Hm, I just checked:
(parted) help mkpart
mkpart PART-TYPE [FS-TYPE] START END make a partition
So, you can actually specify where you want the partition to start.
After creating a new partition, you can mkfs this new one. I did not
understand at which point you want to "resize" a partition. Resizing a
filesystem is usually done on existing, resized partitions.
