Idea #2587: Disk Partition/Fstab/Disk-full Manager/Editor

I've ran into this several times now...have setup a computer for someone & later they want to add another hard-drive--Sounds simple to me, but when I talk him/her thru it--finding the UUID--proper defaults & information, well, let's say the normal answer is---"why is this so hard?? When we installed it, everything was done already"

Mac OSX has a editor called "Drive Utility" (catchy name--yes ) that partitions, labels & creates the fstab files--all rolled into one.

I would like to see something similar based around gparted--I think that all that would be needed would be a dialog or tab that offered the function.

I think it should be a "must-have" idea to roll all of these ideas into one manager....a "one-stop" application for disk management.
Added 11 Mar 08: We also need a simple way to create raid(s).

In review, I think that the best ideas of parted, Gparted & Disk Manager could be "merged" into one application--I believe that a bounty-motivated "contest" to create the application would serve the community best (perhaps announce the idea on this website & UbuntuForums?)
