GParted News Item 171

The GParted team is proud to announce a new stable release of GParted Live.

This release marks the first time that GParted can resize some file systems (btrfs, ext3, ext4, jfs, lvm2 pv, nilfs2, reiserfs, and xfs) while these are online (mounted). A big thanks goes to Phillip Susi for the updates needed to enable online partition resizing. This release also includes a number of bug fixes and language translation updates.

Items of note include:

• Based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2013/Dec/13)
• Updated Linux kernel to 3.11.10-1
• Includes GParted 0.17.0 which includes:
  • Add support for online resize
  • Recognize Linux Swap Suspend and Software RAID partitions
  • Fix busy detection for Linux Software RAID and extended partitions
  • Turn on resize2fs progress bar

Thanks goes to Steven Shiau for creating this enhanced live image.
