GParted as the GNOME Partition Editor as one of the most robust solutions for GUI-driven partition and file-system management on Linux is out with a new feature release.

GParted 1.7 was released this evening with new features for this widely-used GUI partition editor on Linux systems. With the GParted 1.7 release there is initial support for formatting Bcachefs file-systems. This experimental Bcachefs support within GParted is limited to single device file-systems and no other extra features.

In addition to the experimental support for Bcachefs file-systems, GParted 1.7 also adds support for recognizing Network Block Devices (NBDs), preventing GParted probe from starting LVM volume groups, and bumping its libparted dependency requirements.
