Hi,
I have an old NTFS partition in my /dev/hda1. I'd like to re-format it
to ext3 partition. Is there such utility in linux/Redhat, so I don't
have to reboot and use other partition software?
I don't care about preserving data, since I simply don't need the
partition anylonger, and would like to use the available space.

Use linux "fdisk /dev/hda1" to change the partition type, then run "mke2fs /dev/hda1" and "tune2fs -j /dev/hda1" .

You now have an empty ext3 filesystem on /dev/hda1
