I'm not sure who originally asked the question, but I found some info on it.
I've never used DiskDrake myself (for these reasons):
>From the DiskDrake homepage:
"DiskDrake should be usable now... it can:
create partitions
delete partitions
change type of partition
format partitions
assign a mount point ((21/07/99) propose a list of classic mount points and
verify the mount point is valid)
mount partitions
resize fat partitions
resize partitions (when not caring loosing its data)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
clear partition table
auto allocation (usefull for install)
write fstab "
So it can (right now) resive FAT (ms-dos) partitions, and resize others if you
dont care about losing data. I'm sure that in fact you do care about losing
data, so DiskDrake is probably not ready for that purpose yet, unless you also
intend to develop with it.
