Features

GParted enables you to easily manage your disk partitions:

• Create partition tables, (e.g., msdos or gpt)
• Create, move, copy, resize, check, label, set new UUID, and delete partitions
• Enable and disable partition flags, (e.g., boot or hidden)
• Align partitions to mebibyte (MiB) or traditional cylinder boundaries
• Attempt data rescue from lost partitions

GParted works with the following storage devices:

• Hard disk drives (e.g., SATA, IDE, and SCSI)
• Flash memory devices, such as USB memory sticks, Solid State Drives (SSD's), and Non-Volatile Memory Express devices (NVMe's)
• RAID Devices (hardware RAID, motherboard BIOS RAID, and Linux software RAID)
• All sector sizes (e.g., devices with 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 byte sectors and more)

GParted supports the following actions on file systems:

[1] Copy performed using ntfsclone command.
[2] You need kernel support for this file system if you want to grow it (or shrink if shrink is supported).
[3] Although it's not possible to shrink an xfs file system directly, you can shrink it using GParted's copy functionality.
[4] Native available through libparted (versions < 3.0 or versions > 3.0). For example libparted-3.1.
[5] Copy performed using xfsdump and xfsrestore.
[6] Requires mtools to read and write labels and UUIDs.
[7] The blkid command from e2fsprogs v1.41+ is required for ext4 detection.
[8] The swaplabel command from util-linux v2.18+ is required to write labels and UUIDs on linux-swap.
[9] The blkid command from util-linux v2.18+ is required for exfat detection.
[10] Requires btrfs-tools version released after Oct. 25, 2011 to write labels.
[11] Requires ntfs-3g advanced release version >= 2012.1.15AR to change UUID. The ntfs-3g stable version 2012.1.15 does not yet support changing NTFS UUID.
[12] The blkid command from util-linux v2.20+ or libparted 2.4+ is required for nilfs2 detection.
[13] The blkid command from util-linux v2.23+ is required for f2fs detection.
[14] The blkid command from util-linux v2.24+ is required for refs detection.
[15] Requires btrfs-progs version >= 4.1 June 2015 package to set new btrfs UUID.
