Parted Magic 2012_09_12 - A free Partitioning Tool
.png)
The Parted Magic OS employs core programs of GParted and Parted to handle partitioning tasks with ease, while featuring other useful software (e.g. Partimage, TestDisk, Truecrypt, Clonezilla, G4L, SuperGrubDisk, ddrescue, etc…) and an excellent set of info to benefit the user. An extensive collection of file system tools are also included, as Parted Magic supports the following: btrfs, ext2, ext3, ext4, fat16, fat32, hfs, hfs+, jfs, linux-swap, ntfs, reiserfs, and xfs. Parted Magic requires at least a i586 processor and 312MB of RAM to operate or 175MB in “Live” mode.
FeaturesFormat internal and external hard drives. Move, copy, create, delete, expand & shrink hard drive partitions. Clone your hard drive, to create a full backup. Test hard drives for impending failure. Test memory for bad sectors. Benchmark your computer for a performance rating. Securely erase your entire hard drive, wiping it clean from all data. Gives access to non-booting systems allowing you to rescue important data. Runs from the CD, no install required.

Parted Magic 2012_09_12
GParted LVM support! This enhancement was written by new GParted team member Mike Fleetwood. This is a list of new LVM features:
* Physical Volume creation
* Physical Volume checking
* Physical Volume resizing (No compaction, just adjusting size above highest used block)
* Physical Volume moving using GParted's offline move capability
* Volume Group activation / deactivation
* Physical Volume deletion
A large number of programs have been updated: mc-4.8.4, exfat-utils-0.9.8, fuse-exfat-0.9.8, firefox-15.0.1, gparted-0.13.1-git, kmod-10, alsa-utils-1.0.26, alsa-lib-1.0.26. eject-2.1.5, systemd-189, unetbootin-581, pigz-2.2.5, openssh-6.1p1, e2fsprogs-1.42.5, grep-2.14, coreutils-8.19, xorg-server-1.12.4, linux-3.5.3, bash-4.2.037, btrfs-progs-20120821, spacefm-0.7.11, udevil-0.3.2, wireless_tools.29.
A mess of bugs has also been dealt with.
The split_initrdimg.sh has been updated so it works with atftpd again. There were actually two issues. The bigger initbase file was 41MB and atftpd can only handle 32MB max file size. The other issue was a limit on the number of characters in the command line. The split files now have shorter names like part00.
Some rare USB hangs have been fixed. A udev rule included with udev-182 would cause mice to become inactive. This was fixed by updating to systemd-189. We are only using the udev portion of systemd at this time.
Please use unetbootin-581 when installing Parted Magic on a USB drive. The latest_live works now.
If you've been having issues with version 1 of the RTL8168b network card add irqpoll pci=noacpi to your append line in your boot loader or hit and add it the end of the command line in Parted Magic's boot menu.
The default terminal running Clonezilla has been increased so menu items are not cut short.
It has been reported that some new computer's BIOS can't read FAT32. This leads to a No configuration file found error. To fix this issue, simply format your USB to FAT16. This is not a bug in Parted Magic or Syslinux.
These are some of the most notable changes from 2012_08_09. See the changelog or visit the forum for more details.
