DarkDiskz – a simple open-source Linux GUI for disks, RAID, bcache, and SMART (early version, feedback welcome!)

I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on called DarkDiskz.

It’s an open-source Python/GTK4 GUI tool that combines several disk-related utilities in one place. The goal is to make it easier to see drive information and manage storage setups without juggling a bunch of separate commands.

🔹 Features:

• View detailed disk information (lsblk, lshw)
• Run SMART health tests
• Benchmark disks
• Manage RAID (RAID 1/0)
• Set up and monitor bcache
• Configure fstab entries

⚠️ Important Notice (Please Read):
This is an early project by an amateur coder, so:

• Some functions may not work perfectly.
• There could be bugs.
• You could lose data if you use destructive operations like wiping drives or re configuring RAID.

💡 Please back up all important data before testing or using any of the write/format functions. Use at your own risk.

🎯 About Me:
I’m not much of a programmer—this is my first serious attempt at making something useful for the Linux community. I’m hoping others might try it out, give feedback, report issues, or even contribute improvements. I probably wont change or edit the program any farther maybe the community enjoys this I hope so.
