GPARTED
|
||||
-------
|
||||
Gparted is the Gnome Partition Editor for creating, reorganizing, and
|
||||
deleting disk partitions.
|
||||
|
||||
GParted stands for Gnome Partition Editor.
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
It uses libparted to detect and manipulate devices and partition
|
||||
tables while several (optional) file system tools provide support for
|
||||
file systems not included in libparted. These optional packages will
|
||||
be detected at runtime and don't require a rebuild of GParted.
|
||||
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 is written in C++ and uses gtkmm as Graphical Toolkit. The
|
||||
general approach is to keep the GUI as simple as possible. That's why
|
||||
we try to conform to the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines.
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
Visit http://gparted.sourceforge.net for more information
|
||||
Gparted can also be used with storage devices other than hard disks,
|
||||
such as USB flash drives, and memory cards.

|
||||
partition tables.
|

Several optional packages provide additional file system support.

If the vol_id command is in the search PATH, it will be used to read

linux-swap volume labels.
|

|

Note to packagers: The above optional packages are not mandatory for
|
||||
gparted operation, and should probably listed
|

as 'suggests' not 'depends on'.

NOTE: If the vol_id command is in the search PATH, it will be

used to read linux-swap volume labels.
