GParted supports the following actions on file systems


[1] Copy performed using ntfsclone command.
[2] You need kernel support for this file system if you want to grow it (or shrink if shrink is supported).
[3] Although it's not possible to shrink an xfs file system directly, you can shrink it using GParted's copy functionality.
[4] Native available through libparted (versions < 3.0 or versions > 3.0). For example libparted-3.1.
[5] Copy performed using xfsdump and xfsrestore.
[6] Requires mtools to read and write labels and UUIDs.

[8] The swaplabel command from util-linux v2.18+ is required to write labels and UUIDs on linux-swap.

[10] Requires btrfs-tools version released after Oct. 25, 2011 to write labels.
