The developer Red Hat presented the new partition manager blivet-gui, software that may be included in Fedora 21.

GParted partition manager is currently the most widely used in Linux. Included in the official repositories of major Linux distributions, GParted allows us to easily manage partitions both of our memories connected in that pc such as pendrive, external hard drives with a lot of various features such as the ability to recover data accidentally deleted, etc.. In future versions of Fedora, the GParted partition manager could be replaced by a new open source project called blivet gui. Developed by Red Hat, Blivet GUI partition manager is an open source library that is based on blivet already included in Fedora Anaconda installer and integrated.

The idea of the project blivet-gui is to provide a modern partition manager that can fit right into Fedora and Red Hat including features and reliability similar to GParted.

 




As we can see from the picture, the graphic interface of blivet-gui is very reminiscent of GParted, among other features include support for creating physical volumes (even encrypted) LVM2, manage the most common file formats, system Btrfs also included and the possibility create file Kickstarter for the Anaconda installer.

blivet-gui is already available for Fedora 20, thanks to third-party repositories dedicated just type in a terminal:

of c 'yum install dnf "
on c "dnf copr enable vtrefny / blivet-gui
dnf blivet install-gui "

Once installed we will have to start blivet-gui from terminal type:

on c "blivet-gui"

blivet-gui is also available for Arch Linux via AUR, for other distributions can compile the software from source.
