GNOME Disks serves as a graphical interface for udisks, providing functionalities such as partition management, monitoring via S.M.A.R.T., performance benchmarking, and software-based RAID support up to version 3.12. The GNOME Documentation Project offers a comprehensive introduction to this tool.
Formerly referred to as GNOME Disk Utility or palimpsest Disk Utility, the application interacts with udisks, which was previously known as DeviceKit-disks. This component originated from the now-obsolete DeviceKit framework that succeeded parts of the HAL system.
GNOME Disks comes pre-installed in several prominent Linux distributions, including Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Trisquel, Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and CentOS.
