Free parted software for linux

GNU Parted is a program for creating, resizing, destroying, checking and copying partitions, and the file systems on them. This is useful for creating space for new operating systems, reorganising disk usage, copying data between hard disks and disk imaging.
Supported disk labels: raw access (useful for RAID and LVM), MS-DOS partition tables, Intel GPT partition tables, MIPS partition tables, PC98 partition tables, Sun and BSD disk labels and Macintosh partition maps.
Notes:
- For ext2, ext3 and reiserfs: the start of the partition must stay fixed.
- For ext2, ext3: the partition you copy to must be bigger or exactly the same size as the partition you copy from.
- For ext2 and ext3: the checking is limited to ensuring the resize and copy commands will be ok.
- For fat: the size of the new partition after resizing or copying is restricted by the cluster size. Parted can shrink the cluster size, so you can always shrink your partition. However, if you cant use FAT32 for some reason, you may not be able to grow your partition.
- Parted supports both FAT16 and FAT32. Parted can convert file systems between FAT16 and FAT32, if necessary.
- Reiserfs support is enabled if you install libreiserfs.

PAUD (Parted And Utilities Disk) is a Linux utility boot disk distribution. It fits on a single 1.44 floppy disk. It contains mc, parted, and other utilities such as filesystem utilities for ext2, ext3, and Reiserfs. It is great for partition maintenance and for rescue purposes.
The latest version of PAUD (1.0.4) has glibc-2.2.5, kernel 2.4.20, support for up to 4 virtual consoles. Kernel has DMA support (click here for more info on DMA) , SCSI support is not available out-of-the-box but it can be easily implemented.
The kernel has filesystem support for FAT/VFAT, EXT2, EXT3, ReiserFS 3.5, and ReiserFS 3.6 filesystems. Parted supports creating, resizing, copying, and destroying of these filesystem types (please read notes for reiserfs and ext3).
This is a list of all the commands, some of these commands are internal commands of busybox:
busybox commands:
[, ash, basename, busybox, cat, chgrp, chmod, chown, chroot, chvt, clear, cp, cut, date, dd, df, dirname, dmesg, du, echo, env, false, find, free, grep, gunzip, gzip, halt, head, id, init, kill, killall, klogd, linuxrc, ln, logger, ls, lsmod, mkdir, mknod, mkswap, modprobe, more, mount, mv, pidof, poweroff, ps, pwd, reboot, reset, rm, rmdir, sed, sh, sleep, sort, swapoff, swapon, sync, syslogd, tail, tar, test, touch, true, tty, umount, uname, uniq, uptime, wc, which, whoami, xargs, yes, zcat
Other commands:
e2fsck, hdparm, mc, mkreiserfs-3.5, parted, reiserfsck, tune2fs
Notes:
SCSI: SCSI support is not enabled in the kernel, if you wish to use scsi devices with PAUD, you can make a custom kernel and put it on the disk with the rootdisk. The docs section on the PAUD project page will show you how.
ntfs: Many people have asked about NTFS support, specifically the ntfsresize program. I cant fit this on the floppy, but an optional expansion floppy solution will be available shortly.
ReiserFS: mkreiserfs-3.5 can only make reiserfs filesystems version 3.5, if you want to make reiserfs version 3.6, use parted. All other reiserfs functions in parted, including resize, work for both versions. Run reiserfsck --fix-fixable after modifying any paritions from parted, to fix any potential problems.
Ext3: parted cannot create ext3 filesystems, although there is a simple way to do it in PAUD. First create an ext2 partition from parted, then create a journal to convert it to ext3 with tune2fs -j.
hdparm/DMA: DMA isnt enabled by default, hdparm fixes this problem by allowing you to enable DMA using the -d1 option. Using the hdparm disk speed test, i saw an increase in speed from 4.6 mb/sec (default) to 25.2 mb/sec (dma enabled).
mc: mc is a great way of transferring files between filesystems (for Windows/DOS users) or for editing files if you need to. It can also be useful if you ever need to use PAUD for rescue purposes.
mounting: If you get an error when mounting that a filesystem cannot be found on the device, a different filesystem may have been found. Type mount to see if it was actually mounted or not.
Enhancements:
- The kernel was updated to 2.4.20 to support hard drives that are greater than 137GB.

phpWebEd provides a simple Content Management System for PHP enabled websites.

Manencode prepares video to be DVD-compliant.

Another module of the next MANDVD. This module will be use to transcode any video and edit them (cut part of film, add subtitle, adjust light / contrast / saturation).

TransWhite is a simple system status theme.

Also included svg source file with all parts of interface.

Backgrounds for other than 2 filesystems sections also included (to use them You must edit theme file in section karamba, background and mountpoint definitions).

fatresize is a command line tool for non-destructive resizing of FAT16/FAT32 file systems. It is based on the GNU Parted library.
The main target of the project is to be used with the EVMS FAT plugin.
Enhancements:
- This version works properly with EVMS-partitions, and compiles with LFS support.
- The resize code was synchronized with the new version of the command-line parted utility.

Mupper is a Rescue-cd project for the pegasos computers. Mupper rescue CD is based on Gentoo/Linux.
Mupper contains various tools like parted, midnight-commander and support for various filesystems (not SFS), but support for FAT,VFAT, ReiserFS,XFS and EXT3. Some network tools is also included like snort and tcpdump.
Enhancements:
- Now a full gcc is included with X and fluxbox.
- Also firefox is added.
- QT and GTK2+ toolkits is added.
- This released is a totaly makeover for mupper.
