Disk Drake

There is only one partition tool that combines versatility with ease of use - Diskdrake, the partition tool seen in PC Linux. It can handle the most partition types, it allows the user to control the fstab entries, it allows easy mounting/unmounting of paritions. The only area where it lacks is that it doesn't make the distinction between primary and logiical drives.
Qtparted and Gparted which are the other partition tools seen more commonly in Linux distros pale in comparison. Unfortunately, these are the tools one is more likely to comeacross. While Gparted is comparatively better, it allows mounting and distinguished between logical and primary, it can only handle few partition types. Qtparted which is at the bottom of the pile also has the nasty habit of renumbering partitions, which can render an installation unbootable unless the boot menu is edited. Avoidable.
