.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|

|
|

|
|
editor for creating, reorganizing, and deleting disk partitions.
|
|
|
|
A disk device can be subdivided into one or more partitions.
|
|
The

|

|

|
|
change the partition organization on a disk device while
|
|
preserving the contents of the partition.
|
|
|
|
With
|
|

|
|
you can accomplish the following tasks:
|
|
.br
|
|
- Create a partition table on a disk device.
|
|
.br
|
|
- Enable and disable partition flags such as boot and hidden.
|
|
.br
|
|

|
|
resize, move, check, label, copy, and paste.

.SH NOTES
|
|
Editing partitions has the potential to cause LOSS of DATA.
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.B gparted
|
|

|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
