It can be used to manage partitions reading of SMART , Benchmarking , and up to version 3.12 for managing software RAID can be used. A user introduction is included in the GNOME Documentation Project .

background

Udisks was called DeviceKit disks in earlier versions , which in turn is contained in the DeviceKit . It was planned to replace the corresponding functionality in the HAL . HAL and DeviceKit were no longer developed.

A unique feature of the partition manager is that it allows user-scheduled tasks to run in the background and even after the application has been closed.

Disks emerged from Palimpsest and was adopted in various operating systems , including Debian , Ubuntu , Linux Mint , Trisquel , Fedora , Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and CentOS . In the OpenSUSE menu it is available under the name Drives , which links to the executable file gnome-disks .

GNOME Disks as a front end to control udisks2 and gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor. The option mount x-gvfs-show is of mount not supported.
