.SH NAME
|
||||
gparted \- Front-end to parted for manipulating disk partitions
|
||||
gparted \- Gnome partition editor for manipulating partitions.
|
||||
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||||
.B gparted [device]...
|
||||
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.B gparted
|
||||
is the Gnome Partition Editor
|
||||
for creating, reorganizing, and deleting disk partitions.
|
||||
application 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.)
|
||||
A disk device can be subdivided into one or more partitions.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.B gparted
|
||||
makes it possible for you to take a hard disk
|
||||
and change the partition organization,
|
||||
while preserving the partition contents.
|
||||
application enables you to
|
||||
change the partition organization on a disk device while
|
||||
preserving the contents of the partition.
|
||||
|
||||
More specifically,
|
||||
With
|
||||
.B 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).
|
||||
|
||||
.B gparted
|
||||
uses GNU libparted to detect and manipulate devices and partition tables.
|
||||
Several optional packages provide additional file system support.
|
||||
Optional packages include:
|
||||
you can accomplish the following tasks:
|
||||
.br
|
||||
e2fsprogs, dosfstools, mtools, hfsutils, jfsutils,
|
||||
- Create a partition table on a disk device.
|
||||
.br
|
||||
ntfsprogs, reiser4progs, reiserfsprogs, and xfsprogs.
|
||||
- Enable and disable partition flags such as boot and hidden.
|
||||
.br
|
||||
- Perform actions with partitions such as create, delete,
|
||||
resize, move, check, label, copy, and paste.
|
||||
|
||||
.B gparted
|
||||
can also be used with storage devices other than hard disks, such as
|
||||
USB flash drives, and memory cards.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
More documentation can be found in the application help manual,
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
.SH EXAMPLES
|
||||
For a hard drive attached as /dev/sda,
|
||||
You can run
|
||||
.B gparted
|
||||
can be instructed to limit operations to this drive only with the
|
||||
following:
|
||||
from a command line
|
||||
and specify one or more disk devices.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, to start gparted with the devices /dev/sda and /dev/sdc
|
||||
you would use the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
.B gparted
|
||||
/dev/sda
|
||||
|
||||
This can save time with subsequent device refreshes, such as after
|
||||
operations are applied.
|
||||
/dev/sda /dev/sdc
|
||||
.SH NOTES
|
||||
When resizing a logical partition within an extended partition,
|
||||
remember that each portion is resized independently.
|
||||
Hence shrinking the left-most logical partition
|
||||
by moving the left edge to the right will shrink only the logical
|
||||
partition. If you desire to free the space for an adjacent primary
|
||||
partition, then you must also shrink the extended partition.
|
||||
Editing partitions has the potential to cause LOSS of DATA.
|
||||
|
||||
The
|
||||
.B gparted
|
||||
application is
|
||||
designed to enable you to edit partitions while
|
||||
reducing the risk of data loss.
|
||||
The application is carefully tested and is used
|
||||
by the GParted project team.
|
||||
However, loss of data might occur due to software bugs,
|
||||
hardware problems, or power failure.
|
||||
|
||||
You can help to reduce the risk of data loss by
|
||||
not mounting or unmounting partitions outside of
|
||||
the
|
||||
.B gparted
|
||||
application while
|
||||
.B gparted
|
||||
is running.
|
||||
|
||||
You are advised to BACKUP your DATA before using
|
||||
the
|
||||
.B gparted
|
||||
application.
