Parted
GNU Parted is an open source program that allows you to
create, destroy, resize, move, and copy disk partitions. This is useful
for creating space for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage,
and copying data to new hard disks.
It consists of a library, libparted, and a
command-line front-end, parted, that also serves as a reference
implementation.
Parted (after version 2.4) no longer has the ability
to create and
modify file systems.
GParted and KDE Partition Manager are graphical programs using
the parted libraries.
