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