Partition Logic é um gestor de partições do disco rígido gratuito. Tem a capacidade de criar, apagar, formatar mover partições e alterar atributos do HD.
Esta aplicação é baseada no sistema operativo Visopsys, arranca a partir de um cd ou disquete e tem a capacidade de funcionar independentemente do pc ter ou não sistema operativo. Este programa foi criado para ser a alternativa aos programas comerciais como o Partition Magic ou o Norton Ghost.
This is a maintenance release.
New features include support for resizing NTFS filesystems and arbitrary partitions, IDE block mode I/O, Linux swap detection and clobber, and improvements to the operating system, plus assorted bug fixes.
Partition Logic can now resize Windows XP (NTFS) partitions, as a result of porting Linux ntfsprogs NTFS resizing code. Allows partition-only resizing regardless of the filesystem type (with appropriate warnings). Improved IDE/ATA hard disk driver performance by implementing block-mode I/O. Added basic ‘stub’ NTFS filesystem support (detection and clobber). Added basic ‘stub’ Linux swap filesystem support (detection and clobber). Added a kernel disk function for rescanning the partitions of a single disk. Add a kernel filesystem function for getting statistics about a filesystem (whether it’s mounted or not, or indeed, properly supported or not). Added a kernel filesystem function for getting resizing constraints. Added a kernel filestystem function for requesting specific detection of filesystem type (useful for removable media and such). Text mode now shows the operations/commands in two columns. The ‘move partition’ and ‘copy disk’ functions now use standard progress dialogs and show time estimates. Fixed: After formatting FAT32, Linux and older Windows installers would show the filesystem as 100% full. Fixed: Errors with IDE/ATA hard disks as secondary masters. Fixed: Unformatting (clobbering) a partition in the didn’t seem to convince the kernel to un-detect the previous filesystem until reboot.
Configuração de sistema necessárias: Partition logic supports most of the basic PC hardware without any additional work or configuration. It has very modest (by today’s standards)
Pentium-class x86 processor 32 megabytes RAM memory (16 megabytes in text mode) IDE (ATA) hard disks for partitioning. IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM drive, if booting from the CD version. Standard PC floppy disk, if booting from the floppy disk version. For graphics mode, a VESA 2-compatible graphics card with linear framebuffer support. PS/2-style mouse, in graphics mode
Limitações: Partition logic does not currently support the following: Partitioning of SCSI hard disks Non MS-DOS/MBR-style partition tables (i.e. Sun, BSD, EFI/GPT) Formatting non-FAT filesystems. Filesystem resizing. Serial mice, in graphics mode USB keyboards and mice Keyboard layouts other than UK English and US English
*Nota: Algumas destas limitações serão ultrapassadas nas próximas versões.
