Dendrobatus Azureus<p>Giving credit to the programmers of GPARTED(8) </p><p>gparted works its magic, by entering correct parameters to a suite of partition control & editing commands, which are sh envoked, so you can easily manipulate your partitions on all your SSDs HDDs from the comfort of your UI</p><p>When you want to batch manipulate partitions, you can study the log output and make sh scripts yourself, controlling partitions anywhere.<br>You also have the convenience of running gparted from sh so it still works its magic for you, without the UI!</p><p>I usually run cfdisk gdisk fdisk when I partition a fresh mechanical or SSD, later on I invoke gparted when I want to resize or move them</p><p>it also runs important commands at the end so that the kernel gets to know your new partition layout, which makes rebooting your machine to use them unneeded</p><p>I shrunk and resized a partition where I installed a program, which needed 75GB (*1024!) as installation space but only uses 56GB in the end. I left 12GB of breathing room on the partition after the shrink and of course grew the partition before with the same size, minus the alignment snip of 1MB</p><p>log:<br>myserver kernel: JFS: nTxBlock = 8192, nTxLock = 65536<br>myserver kernel: SGI XFS with ACLs, security attributes, realtime, scrub, repair, quota, debug enabled<br>myserver kernel: sdb: sdb1 sdb2 sdb3 sdb4<br>myserver kernel: sdb: sdb1 sdb2 sdb3 sdb4<br>^Z</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fuzzies.wtf/@altbot" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>altbot</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://gparted.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">gparted.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/gparted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gparted</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/partitions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>partitions</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/bash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bash</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/csh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>csh</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ksh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ksh</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/sh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sh</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/parameters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>parameters</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/UEFI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UEFI</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/options" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>options</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>programming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/POSIX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>POSIX</span></a></p>
