Description Joel Bryan Juliano 2006-06-08 23:01:49 UTC 
I hope in the future version, we can use gparted to deploy to mass of computers, by cloning the entire disk to another disk.

Comment 2 Plors (Bart H) 2006-08-18 08:08:05 UTC 
this will be in 0.3 or 0.3.1
Comment 3 Plors (Bart H) 2006-09-06 20:56:14 UTC 
what do we do when destination is bigger than the source? grow the last partition or fill the drive? or simply leave this extra space unallocated?
Comment 4 Plors (Bart H) 2006-09-06 20:58:06 UTC 
hmmz, that last sentence should be along the line of:
'grow the last partition AND fill the drive?'

it's late, i'm going to get some sleep :)

Hi Joel,

GParted has supported copying partitions from one disk to another disk since version 0.3.

Does this enhancement address this enhancement request?

On the other hand, perhaps Clonezilla is a better solution for you?

Clonezilla permits you to clone multiple computers at the same time.  You can read more about clonezilla at:

Comment 6 Curtis Gedak 2009-10-30 16:32:32 UTC 
Since GParted provides the ability to copy partitions, and since Clonezilla permits cloning multiple computers at the same time I am closing this bug report.
