NAME¶
gparted - Gnome partition editor for manipulating disk partitions.
SYNOPSIS¶
gparted [device]...
DESCRIPTION¶
The
gparted application is the GNOME 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 partition.
With
gparted you can accomplish the following tasks:
- Create a partition table on a disk device.
- Enable and disable partition flags such as boot and hidden.
- Perform actions with partitions such as create, delete, resize, move, check,
label, copy, and paste.
More documentation can be found in the application help manual, and online at:
http://gparted.org
EXAMPLES¶
You can run
gparted 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:
gparted /dev/sda /dev/sdc
NOTES¶
Editing partitions has the potential to cause LOSS of DATA.
The
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
gparted application while
gparted is
running.
You are advised to BACKUP your DATA before using the
gparted application.
