Here's a little admin trick:

'su -' instead of su, will give you a root shell that is exactly like 
the one you get after logging in as root. With 'su -', pdisk should be 
in your path.

Personally, I prefer 'su -' in a separate shell. In that way, I can do 
my administration tasks without logging out and back in again from a 
normal user.
