QtParted
Encyclopedia
QtParted is a program for Linux
which is used for creating, destroying, resizing and managing partitions. It uses the GNU Parted
libraries and is built with the Qt
toolkit. Like GNU Parted, it has inherent support for the resizing of NTFS
partitions, using the ntfsresize
utility. It does not handle LVM partitions.
The QtParted team does not provide an official Live CD
to use QtParted with. However, QtParted is included in Ark Linux
Live (the Ark Linux
team is currently maintaining QtParted), in the popular live Linux distribution Knoppix
, on the Kubuntu
live CD, in MEPIS
, in NimbleX
and in the Trinity Rescue Kit
.
After not being maintained since 2005, it has been superseded by KDE Partition Manager
.
