How many people would be interested in seeing Disk Druid post installation? I think that many people find it easy to use during the installation process and would want this post-install?

Got any good reasons? Let us hear them....

TIA for the feedback.

Anyone?

Disk Druid would be EXTREMELY handy post-install, especially if Linux is to become a competitor on the desktop for end-users. I can slog through FDISK, but I know of many people who couldn't be bothered. Let's say they want to add a larger hard drive and partition it... it's a pain with FDISK, whereas MMCs Disk Manager service makes it easy.

The GUI interface that Disk Druid uses is quite nice. It makes setting up RAID devices and LVMs a piece of cake. I, for one, would like to see it available post installation too.

There really aren't any other good gui disk tools available

(without messing around with QT, lib<blah>, etc required to get things like partgui, or qtparted running.

Currently I maintain a Linux rescue disk (search for it on freshmeat) and boot to that if machines need to have their partitions messed around. The possibility for 'fat-fingering' a wrong partition table using parted / fdisk is rather large, *especially* for the 'knows-enough-to-cause-damage' administrator who's more your clicky sort than your cli sort.

Slick.
