Gparted is the Gnome Partition Editor for creating, reorganizing, and
|
|
|
|
|
deleting disk partitions.

A hard disk is usually subdivided into one or more partitions. These
|
|
|
|
|
partitions are normally not re-sizable (making one smaller and the
|
|
|
|
|
adjacent one larger.) Gparted makes it possible for you to take a
|
|
|
|
|
hard disk and change the partition organization, while preserving the
|
|
|
|
|
partition contents.

More specifically, Gparted enables you to create, destroy, resize,
|
|
|
|
|
move, check, label, and copy partitions, and the file systems
|
|
|
|
|
contained within. This is useful for creating space for new operating
|
|
|
|
|
systems, reorganizing disk usage, and mirroring one partition with
|
|
|
|
|
another (disk imaging).

Gparted uses GNU libparted to detect and manipulate devices and
|
|
|
|
|
partition tables. Several optional packages provide additional file
|
|
|
|
|
system support. Optional packages include:
|
|
|
|
|
e2fsprogs, dosfstools, mtools, hfsutils, jfsutils,
|
|
|
|
|
ntfsprogs, reiser4progs, reiserfsprogs, and xfsprogs.

Gparted can also be used with storage devices other than hard disks,
|
|
|
|
|
such as USB flash drives, and memory cards.
