GNU Parted (from GNU partition editor) is a free partition editor, used for creating and deleting partitions. This is useful for creating space for new operating systems, reorganising hard disk usage, copying data between hard disks, and disk imaging. It was written by Andrew Clausen and Lennert Buytenhek.
It consists of a library, libparted, and a command-line front-end, parted, that also serves as a reference implementation.
Currently[update], GNU Parted runs only under Linux and GNU/Hurd.[2]
