Description
This test case tests whether the Palimpsest disk management tool can modify, delete and create partitions directly on a disk. It requires a system with a typical (SATA / PATA) hard disk, with some existing partitions and some free space
How to test
- Ensure the
gnome-disk-utility - Launch Palimpsest, with the command
palimpsestor as System Tools > Disk Utility on the system menus - Select the free space on an existing disk and attempt to create a partition in it, and then mount that partition
- Select the partition you just created and attempt to modify it in some way, such as changing its label
- Attempt to delete the partition you just created
Expected Results
- The tool should be able to create partitions, mount them correctly (verify you can access the created and mounted partition), modify their properties, and delete them
