Parted Magic is a commercial Linux distribution based on Slackware that comes with disk partitioning and data recovery tools. [3] It is sold as a Linux -based bootable disk. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] The distribution's nomenclature is derived from the names of the GNU Parted and PartitionMagic software packages.
The GParted project provides a live operating system including GParted which can be written to a Live CD, a Live USB and other media. [8] The operating system is based on Debian . GParted is also available on other Linux live CDs, including recent versions of Puppy , Knoppix , SystemRescueCd [ 9 ] and Parted Magic .
nparted is the newt-based frontend to GNU Parted. [3] Projects have started for an ncurses frontend, [4] that also could be used in Windows (with GNUWin32 Ncurses). [5] fatresize offers a command-line interface for FAT16/FAT32 non-destructive resize and uses the GNU Parted library. [6] tparted is the TV/FV-based frontend for GNU Parted. [7]
gpart is a software utility which scans a storage device, examining the data in order to detect partitions which may exist but are absent from the disk's partition tables. . Gpart was written by Michail Brzitwa of Germa
[2] [3] It can set parameters such as drive caches, sleep mode, power management, acoustic management, and DMA settings. GParted [citation needed] and Parted Magic both include hdparm. [4] Changing hardware parameters from suboptimal conservative defaults to their optimal settings can improve performance greatly.
System administrators use a program called a partition editor to create, resize, delete, and manipulate the partitions. [3] Partitioning allows the use of different filesystems to be installed for different kinds of files. Separating user data from system data can prevent the system partition from becoming full and rendering the system unusable.
[8] [9] PowerPC had a single release with version 0.2.0 in 2004, [10] with SPARC also having one for version 0.4.0 in 2007. [11] If a PXE boot requires HTTP or TFTP, at least 1GB of memory will be needed for loading a required file for those into memory. However if NFS or NBD is used, the 1GB requirement isn't necessary.
