GParted Manual                                         GPARTED(8)



NAME
     gparted - Gnome partition editor for manipulating disk  par-
     titions.

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  hid-
     den.
     - 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.sourceforge.net

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 appli-
     cation is carefully tested and is used by the  GParted  pro-
     ject  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.
