So what are people using as a successor to nparted? [Note: I say GUI, but I would really prefer something like nparted which can be run from the console, though I would be happy with a full-blown X-based app]not having used any of those apps I use cfdisk usually ..what kind of features you looking for? nate
Something like nparted, just still supported. :) cfdisk exits with a fatal error["FATAL ERROR: Bad logical partition 6: enlarged logical partitions overlap"] when I try to run it so that isn't going to work. Based on the man page, though, that seems to be what I am looking for.
fdisk -l output in case anyone knows what is making cfdisk unhappy: Disk /dev/hda: 61.4 GB, 61492838400 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7476 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 2035 16346106 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 5296 7476 17518882+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda3 2036 5295 26185950 83 Linux /dev/hda5 6120 7352 9904041 83 Linux /dev/hda6 5296 5298 24034+ 83 Linux /dev/hda7 5299 5385 698796 b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda8 5386 6119 5895823+ 83 Linux /dev/hda9 7353 7476 995998+ 82 Linux swap Partition table entries are not in disk order
