Disk Utility (Palimpsest) is a udisks graphical front-end included in the gnome-disk-utility package. Disk Utility can be used for partition management, S.M.A.R.T. monitoring, benchmark and software RAID. An introduction is included in the GNOME Documentation Project.
Udisks was named DeviceKit-disks in earlier releases. DeviceKit-disks is part of DeviceKit which was planned to replace certain aspects of HAL. HAL and DeviceKit have both been depreciated.
A unique feature of the partition manager is that tasks are executed in the background, even after the application has been closed by the user.
Palimpsest has been included in several Linux distributions including Ubuntu and Fedora.
As of Fedora 11 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6[1] and CentOS 6 Palimpsest Disk Utility is part of the base distribution and available from the menu at: Applications -> System Tools -> Disk Utility
Limitations
Disk Utility cannot currently re-size a logical volume.
