Solution for foolproofing fdisk?


Long story short:
how to make a user can run fdisk but will be failed if, for example, he wants to fdisk / or any crucial file path?

fdisk alone is root-only program, maybe this should be done in jail chroot or something?

Suggestions are very welcomed.

fdisk will work on any device that the user has write permission to.
