GParted 0.7.0 is less than ideal, so am looking for something else. Is there a credible alternative?

[update] The two issues I was having had nothing to do with GParted.

    What are you looking for that GParted doesn't have? – Michael Mrozek Feb 06 '11 at 21:05

    ^^ This. GParted is the default for partition editing tasks on Linux. I would not know what is not 'credible' so, pray tell, what bothers you about it? – wzzrd Feb 06 '11 at 21:32

    Did you find that this was related to your USB stick problem (http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/7028/how-to-get-my-usb-stick-to-auto-mount)? If so would you mind updating this question? It sounds more like a distribution-related (automounter) problem than a problem with gparted. – glomad Feb 07 '11 at 18:07
  • @ith You are right. – tshepang Feb 07 '11 at 19:44

partitionmanager is a KDE/Qt gui using the same libs GParted uses. (afaik) It is almost feature-equivalent.

As of now, it lacks support for setting file system labels on some file systems, where GParted can set them just fine.(eg. fat32) Other than that, it works just like GParted.

Unless something changed recently GParted is de facto standard tool. The only viable alternative are partially CLI partially GUI tools like cfdisk.
