View source for New Disk Wizard

= Introduction =
This is a plugin to add new disks to an Amahi HDA in a "seamless as possible" fashion.

<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .8em 1em; background-color: #faa; margin: 0px 1em;">
'''CAUTION:''' If you mount a drive and at some point remove it, ensure you remove the appropriate entry from the ''/etc/fstab''. If you don't, your HDA will boot into '''Emergency Mode''' and be inoperable.</div>

= Assumptions and Dependencies =

== Features ==
* Create partition tables, (e.g., msdos or gpt)
* Create, move, copy, resize, check, label, set new UUID, and delete partitions
* Enable and disable partition flags, (e.g., boot or hidden)
* Align partitions to mebibyte (MiB) or traditional cylinder boundaries
* Attempt data rescue from lost partitions

== Devices supported ==
* Hard disk drives (e.g., [[SATA]], [[IDE]], and [[SCSI]])
* Flash memory devices, such as USB memory sticks and Solid State Drives (SSD&#39;s)
* RAID Devices (hardware RAID, motherboard BIOS RAID, and Linux software RAID)
* All sector sizes (e.g., devices with 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 byte sectors and more)
Disk-Wizard does not support logical volume management (LVM2) at present.

The Disk-Wizard uses a wide variety of third party libraries and tools which perform these operations. Disk-Wizard is a frontend, which brings together all these underlying functions and processes, and presents them in a graphical and accessible way.

There is a list of dependencies, or a list of packages required for the program to work. In this occasion, they are file system tools.

* ntfsprogs
* udisks2
* e2fsprogs
* hdparm

== File system support ==
