To manage partitions on Linux we have several alternatives (though we can not say they are too). The alternative to Partition Magic on Linux is called parties, an open source program that lets you add, delete and modify the size of the partitions, but with two major differences with respect to Partition Magic.

First, parties not only works with fats, NTFS and EXT s: can also be HFS and HFS + (a type of partitioning used on a Mac), ReiserFS, XFS, and UFS. The second major difference is that part is free of course.

Parted with graphical interfaces for GNOME (GParted) and KDE (QTParted). These GUIs do allow a couple of clicks, just as easily with Partition Magic.

GParted partition manager is the default in many distributions, such as those that we used a desktop system based on GNOME.

It is very easy to use and is compatible with virtually all formats and file systems today, such as E XT2, EXT3, FAT16, FAT32, HFS, HFS +, JFS, SWAP, NTFS, ReiserFS, Reiser4, UFS, and XFS.

With GParted can see the structure of the partitions on your hard disk, and make changes, like cutting partitions and bigger, delete or create them again.

In addition, GParted not take no action until you make sure that not all is well and it says "Apply Changes" so you can go back.

To install the partition manager so we'll just open a terminal console and write:

sudo apt-get install GParted

QTParted

As mentioned above, QTParted is a partition manager for KDE.

Like GParted will allow us to manage type partitions NTFS, ReiserFS, JFS, ext2/ext3, XFS, and many other formats.

To install the partition manager so we'll just open a terminal console and write:

sudo apt-get install GParted

Use these programs to manage partitions on Linux is very simple, the options available are as common these programs, however it is recommended to use use one of the many one of the LiveCDs that exist in Linux, but if we ask Recommendation We recommend the excellent System Rescue CD (which has several tools).

Why make this recommendation? This is because usually in order to modify the size of the partitions have to do something with the unmounted partitions easier done from a LiveCD distribution.
