I don't want to use GParted in Kanotix because it gets stuck at "Scanning all devices" and uses 99% of my CPU for hours and it doesn't stop so I can't do anything with it. What can I use to partition one of my hard drives?

Code:

apt-get install qtparted

Oder nimm CMD Tools wie z.B. parted, die koennen meist, mehr als GUI Tools.

Thank you this works nicely and doesn't get stuck or freeze like GParted

Hmm qtparted is not very reliable and doesn't work well at all

Maybe try (cause your configurations got screwed somehow)

Code:

apt-get remove --purge gparted

restart X (ctrl+alt+backspace) then do

Code:

apt-get install gparted

It is a much better tool than qtparted (why it was dropped in favor of gparted)

I agree. I was very happy to see GParted included with Kanotix as I've always preferred it to QtParted.

QTParted worked nicely and quickly for me. I just wanted to wipe clean the hard drive by reformatting it a few times and I did that in less than a few minutes with QTParted. But GParted works better to format for partitioning

from Kano's cookbook:

Code:

cat /dev/zero > /dev/hdax

That will fill your partitions with only zeros and it is quite fast

and if you don't want anybody to use that HD anymore, use this tip from etorix's cookbook:

Code:

Grab a hammer and smash that sucker

Oh sorry I did not realize that this post is in English Winken

Yeah GParted is indeed better than QtParted, mostly because the development of QtParted stucked. Anyway if GParted does not want to work, QtParted and CLI Tools like "parted" are the only one you can use.
