For example, the following wording may be less disruptive (since it use "Edit" in a more familiar way) and more clear. The list of (menu)-buttons is exactly the same than in the gist with the same order and the same meaning, just with the following labels. When a Hard Disk is selected: ============================= Modify (menu-button) -> Edit Hard Disk -> Create New Partition Table Partitions (menu-button) -> Edit Partitions -> Add Partition -> Delete Partitions -> Clone Partitions to Another Device When a RAID is selected: ======================== Modify (menu-button) -> Edit RAID -> Change Used Devices -> Create New Partition Table Partitions (menu-button with same options than above) Delete RAID When a Partition is selected: ============================= Modify (menu-button) -> Edit Partition -> Resize Partition -> Move Partition Delete Partition > So here is the link: > https://gist.github.com/ancorgs/5e5fd016eb7db7413a1972d52f9ae913 > > Please provide (at least) feedback or (desirably) alternatives.
