Advanced partition operations are called from the
Advanced
sidebar list, the same partition
context menu item or toolbar button.
Note that the additional operations list of the partition context menu or toolbar depends
on the selection of a partition type. For example, the FAT16 partition menu contains

Resize Root
; this is absent in the FAT32 partition menu. The Linux Ext2/Ext3
partition context menu contains
Advanced

Operation
Properties
3.4.1 Displaying
operation
results
Results of any disk partition operation are immediately displayed in the Acronis Disk
Director Server main window.
If you create a partition, it will be immediately shown in the hard disk partition list in the
main window, as well as in graphical form on the bottom of the main windows.
Any partition changes, including resizing, relocating and labeling are also immediately
displayed in the main window.
3.4.2 Pending
operations
All operations are
pending
until the user issues the command for the changes to be made
permanent.
Until then, Acronis Disk Director Server will only show the new partition
structure that is provided by operations to be performed.
Therefore, you can view the graphical representation of the new partition structure first
and then decide whether to perform or cancel specific operations.
