Paul Abrahams responded Is Drive Image a commercial product? Does it do anything that Partition Magic can't? (Partition Magic can move *and* resize ext2fs partitions.)
Danny Barnes clarifies That's funny. Both Drive Image and Partition Magic are PowerQuest products and indeed share the SAME technology with regards to moving and copying partitions. As for the resizing, Partition Magic V 5 does NOT resize natively; It includes an open source program that has dependencies that are not satisfied by the linux software Partition Magic includes. I own them both since you can get them from a local Powerquest rep for about half price when it's associated with a Linux users group. A couple a months ago the San Diego Powerquest rep made a presentation at our KPLUG http://www.kernel-panic.org meeting and I purchased them. Hence I stand by my original posting as it comes from my own direct personal experience in having USED both Drive Image and Partition Magic with Linux. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
