14 DAY TRIAL // Just a few moments ago, January 18, SystemRescueCd developer François Dupoux proudly announced the release and immediate availability for download of SystemRescueCd 4.7.1.
SystemRescueCd 4.7.1 comes right after the announcement of the Gparted 0.25.0 free and open-source partition editor software, which is now integrated into the system recovery Live CD. Additionally, the first maintenance release in the SystemRescueCD 4.7 series updates the FSArchiver filesystem archiver tool for Linux to version 0.6.21, improving support for XFS file systems.
Moreover, the xfsprogs and xfsdump utilities have been updated as well in SystemRescueCd 4.7.1, to version 4.3.0 and 3.1.6, respectively, thus bringing better support for XFS version 5. We reported on the release of GParted 0.25.0, but we will remind our readers that it introduces progress bar for various operations with EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, and NTFS file systems, such as checking and resizing.
GParted 0.25.0 also offers better SWRaid member detection and filesystem clearing support, uses the blkid filesystem detection feature instead of libparted, and fixes various issues that have been reported by users since the previous stable release. SystemRescueCd is now the first and only system recovery Live CD to include the newly released GParted 0.25.0 partition editor.
Download SystemRescueCd 4.7.1 right now from our website, where you'll find a 32-bit Live ISO image that can be booted on both 64-bit (x86_64) and 32-bit (x86) computers. SystemRescueCd can be used by system administrators for all sorts of rescue and recovery operations. More details can be found on the project's website.
