“Most Linux system administrators are familiar with GParted, the
excellent open source graphical disk-partitioning tool. GParted
outshines all graphical disk-partioners, including its commercial

and copy partitions on all the major filesystems, including ext2/3,
NTFS, fat16/32, Reiser3/4, XFS, JFS, and several more. Even better,

can perform miraculous feats of rescue on non-booting systems, or
easily prepare a system for a new operating system
