NAME

6       gparted - GNOME Partition Editor for manipulating disk partitions.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       gparted [device]...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  gparted  application  is  the GNOME partition editor for creating,
13       reorganizing, and deleting disk partitions.
14
15       A disk device can be subdivided  into  one  or  more  partitions.   The
16       gparted application enables you to change the partition organization on
17       a disk device while preserving the contents of the partition.
18
19       With gparted you can accomplish the following tasks:
20       - Create a partition table on a disk device.
21       - Enable and disable partition flags such as boot and hidden.
22       - Perform actions with partitions such as create, delete, resize, move,
23       check, label, copy, and paste.
24
25       More  documentation  can  be  found in the application help manual, and
26       online at:

EXAMPLES

30       You can run gparted from a command line and specify one  or  more  disk
31       devices.
32
33       For  example,  to  start gparted with the devices /dev/sda and /dev/sdc
34       you would use the following command:
35
36       gparted /dev/sda /dev/sdc

NOTES

39       Editing partitions has the potential to cause LOSS of DATA.
40
41       The gparted application is designed to enable you  to  edit  partitions
42       while  reducing  the  risk  of data loss.  The application is carefully
43       tested and is used by the GParted project team.  However, loss of  data
44       might occur due to software bugs, hardware problems, or power failure.
45
46       You  can  help  to  reduce  the  risk  of  data loss by not mounting or
47       unmounting partitions outside of the gparted application while  gparted
48       is running.
49
50       You  are  advised to BACKUP your DATA before using the gparted applica‐
51       tion.
