i got this from gnu parted-1.0.2 README
Is this realy true?
Other related programs are listed here. Some of these also have useful
documentation:
* Disk Drake. I wouldn't touch this! I (Andrew Clausen) wrote a
program
called fsresize, which GNU Parted is based on. Disk Drake uses an OLD
version
of fsresize (translated to Perl with c2perl, would you believe!) that
had lots
of bugs. Perhaps they've fixed them, but I've heard a lot of reports of
people
losing their file systems. www.linux-mandrake.com/diskdrake, from
memory.
* dosfsck
* e2fsck and e2fsprogs (!)
http://web.mit.edu/tytso/www/linux/e2fsprogs.html
* ext2resize - uses the same code as GNU Parted, but includes some
other
goodies as well, such as an online ext2 resizer, that doesn't require
unmounting. http://www.dsv.nl/~buytenh/ext2resize
* fdisk (!)
* FIPS (!) (First Interactive Partition Splitter)
http://www.igd.fhg.de/~aschaefe/fips/
* GPart - recovers broken partition tables.
http://www.stu.uni-hannover.de/user/76201/gpart
* LILO (!) (LInux LOader)
ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/lilo/
* mkdosfs (!) (sometimes called mkfs.msdos)
* mke2fs (!) (sometimes called mkfs.ext2)
* mkfs (!)
* mkswap (!)
