Open Source Mac Partition Managers

GPT fdisk is a disk partitioning tool loosely modeled on Linux fdisk, but used for modifying GUID Partition Table (GPT) disks. The related FixParts utility fixes some common problems on Master Boot Record (MBR) disks.

GNOME Partition Editor for creating, reorganizing, and deleting disk partitions. It uses libparted from the parted project to detect and manipulate partition tables. Optional file system tools permit managing file systems not included in libparted.

TestDisk checks the partition and boot sectors of your disks. It is very useful in recovering lost partitions. It works with : DOS/Windows FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32NTFS ( Windows NT/2K/XP )Linux Ext2 and Ext3BeFS ( BeOS )BSD disklabel ( FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD )CramFS (Compressed File System)HFS and HFS+, Hierarchical File SystemJFS, IBM's Journaled File SystemLinux RaidLinux Swap (versions 1 and 2)LVM and LVM2, Linux Logical Volume ManagerNetware NSSReiserFS 3.5, 3.6 and 4Sun Solaris i386 disklabelUFS and UFS2 (Sun/BSD/...)XFS, SGI's Journaled File System PhotoRec is file data recovery software designed to recover lost pictures from digital camera memory or even Hard Disks.

Based on the Visopsys operating system, Partition Logic is a bootable disk image featuring a disk manager program that can create, delete, erase, format, defragment, resize, copy, and move partitions and modify their attributes. It can copy entire hard disks from one to another. Other tools, such as system diagnostics, are also available within the system.

Kvpm is a GUI front end for Linux LVM and Gnu parted. LVM2 groups and volumes can be created, removed and manipulated using most of the options supported by the standard LVM2 tools. Some support for creating and operating on partitions is also provided. It also handles creating and mounting file systems. The LVM version: 2.02.98 or newer must be installed with the lvm2app library. Only the KDE 4 libraries need to be installed, not the entire desktop, so it my be run from within Gnome for instance.

Nueva versión con soporte para pseudo tmpfs. Ahora la cantidad de archivos copiados puede exceder la cantidad de RAM del sistema!!

StarLinux P/B/ Edition is a Live-CD of Ubuntu LTS that is made for partition editing and GRUB/Syslinux (Maybe) recovery to boot into a corrupted bootloader. The edition of StarLinux will have all drivers from Ubuntu and run on a Fluxbox or IceWM Window Manager. It will be 32-bit AND maybe PowerPC so it can support all systems, 32bit or not. This is only a side project that won't get as much attention as StarLinux, but thanks to Ubuntu's constant updates, I don't know how the update manager will work, so a new Live CD will be released Monthly with updated packages.
