Changes the partition table and filesystems all at the same time for you.<br>
<br>
If you enable partition support on loop mount, then you can do this:<br>
<br>
modprobe -r loop (Unload loop module)<br>
modprobe loop max_part=16 (Load loop module with partition support)<br>
losetup /dev/loop0 diskimagefile (connect loop0 to image file, which should then show /dev/loop0p1, etc as partitions on that disk image)<br>
gparted /dev/loop0 (Use gparted to change things)<br>
losetup -d /dev/loop0 (disconnect from loop0)<br>
