|
|
KDE Partition Manager is an application to help you manage the disk devices,
|
|
partitions and file systems on your computer. It allows you to easily create,
|
|
copy, move, delete, resize without losing data, backup and restore partitions.
|
|
|
|
A large number of file systems are also supported:
|
|
- ext2/3/4, Btrfs, Linux swap
|
|
- Reiserfs
|
|
- F2FS
|
|
- NTFS
|
|
- FAT
|
|
- exFAT
|
|
- LUKS encryption support
|
|
- and more....
|
|
|
|
:zap: **Back up your data before using this software**. KDE Partition Manager is
|
|
a potentially dangerous program for your data. It has been tested carefully and
|
|
there are currently no known bugs that could lead to data loss, but nevertheless
|
|
there is always a chance for an error to occur and you might lose your data.

|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
KDE Partition Manager is a KF5 application, so you will need the
|
|
[KDE frameworks](https://www.kde.org/products/frameworks/) libraries to run it
|
|
on your computer. Most modern OSs will install them as dependencies
|
|
for you when you use their default package manager as the installation method.
|
|
|
|
It also makes use of external programs to get its job done, so
|
|
you might have to install additional software (preferably packages from your
|
|
distribution) to make use of all features and get full support for all file
|
|
systems.
|
|
|
|
The methods listed below for each major OS are based on executing the
|
|
installation commands on a terminal window. Alternatively, you can use
|
|
your OS' package management app.
|
|
|
