gparted - Partition Editor application
- Description:
GParted is the Gnome Partition Editor application. Before attempting
to use it, here is some basic background information.
A hard disk is usually subdivided into one or more partitions. These
partitions are normally not re-sizable (making one larger and the
adjacent one smaller) The purpose of GParted is to allow the
individual to take a hard disk and change the partition organization
therein, while preserving the partition contents.
GParted is an industrial-strength package for creating, destroying,
resizing, checking and copying partitions, and the file systems on
them. This is useful for creating space for new operating systems,
reorganizing disk usage, copying data residing on hard disks and
mirroring one partition with another (disk imaging).
GParted uses GNU libparted to detect and manipulate devices and
partitiontables.
Several (optional) "file system" tools provide support for file
systems not included in libparted. These optional packages will be
detected at runtime and do not require a rebuild of GParted.
