Ranish Partition Manager revived (Announce)

posted by boeckmann, Aachen, Germany, 15.01.2023, 16:14

A few hints Fritz: If you want to delete a partition press DELETE. You may set the partition type to "unused" via INSERT but that does not alter the size of the partition nor deletes it.

The erase function does not erase the partition itself but fills it with zero. That is primarly usefull if you want to erase all data in that partition. Therefore the menu entry is called "Erase partition DATA". Perhaps it should be named differently to avoid confusion.

The crash in the picture results in trying to display FAT file system information on a partition previously filled with zeros. That is a software bug. I will implement some checks to make sure that screen is only accessible on a formatted FAT partition.

If there is interest I can try to make a screencast or something in a tutorial style howto create complex partition layouts.
