Gnome Partition Editor

The GParted application is a graphical partition editor for creating, reorganizing, and deleting disk partitions.

A disk device can be subdivided into one or more partitions. The GParted application enables you to change the partition organization on a disk device while preserving the contents of the partitions.

GParted uses GNU libparted to detect and manipulate devices and partition tables. Several optional file system tools provide support for file systems not included in libparted.

Features

• Create partition tables (e.g., msdos, gpt)
• Enable and disable partition flags (e.g., boot, hidden)
• Perform actions with partitions such as:
  • create or delete
  • resize or move (while preserving data)
  • check
  • label
  • copy and paste
• Manipulate file systems such as:
  • ext2 / ext3 / ext4
  • fat16 / fat32
  • hfs / hfs+
  • linux-swap
  • ntfs
  • reiserfs / reiser4
  • ufs
  • xfs
  For specific actions supported see detailed features.
• Align partitions to mebibyte (MiB) or cylinder boundaries
• Supports hardware RAID, motherboard BIOS RAID, and Linux software RAID.
• Supports all sector sizes (e.g., 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 byte sectors)

Requirements

GParted is developed on x86 based computers using GNU/Linux. It can be used on other operating systems, such as Windows or Mac OS X, by booting from media containing GParted Live.
