fdisk doesn't format, so it'll work
qtparted and gparted use libparted, which has support for ext4. If you
boot off a live CD, you can run "yum install gparted" and start using it
right away.

As far as gparted, you can go to Gparted -> Show Features and it will
tell you which filesystems are supported by this version
