Introduction

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

Assumptions and Dependencies

Disk-Wizard enables you to easily manage your disk partitions:

  • 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

Disk-Wizard works with the following storage devices:

  • Hard disk drives (e.g., SATA,IDE, and SCSI)
  • Flash memory devices, such as USB memory sticks and Solid State Drives (SSD'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

Disk-Wizard supports the following actions on file systems:
