NAME

       gparted - GNOME Partition Editor for manipulating disk partitions.

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 hidden.
       - 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:
       https://gparted.org

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 application is carefully tested and is used by the GParted project  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.
