Overview |
iPartition is a disk-partitioning utility for Mac OS X with the ability to resize existing partitions (with filesystems that iPartition supports) whilst keeping files intact. It also features unique, Intelligent Partitioning technology that frees the user from tedious reorganization of the disk and instead chooses the most efficient rearrangement to minimise disk access while respecting the user’s requests for partition sizes.
The table below shows the filesystems currently supported by version 3 of iPartition. iPartition can create, but not format, a large number of other types of partition. It will also allow you to resize almost any type of partition, although doing so will not resize the partition’s contents. In particular, if you shrink a partition that does not contain a supported filesystem, you may lose access to any data that was stored on that partition.
