** Description changed: - I have tried to create a 2 GB swap partition on a GPT disk using both the gnome-disk-utility and gparted. - My system is a Virtualbox VM with the standard vdi file, that I did grow in Virtualbox with 2 GB using the virtual media manager menu. It has been impossible to create any partition in that 2 GB free space using those utilities. Both first promoted to extend the last partition and when I refused and used Apply, they both did give the notorious partitioning error message and nothing changed on the disk. + I have tried to create a 2 GB swap partition on a GPT disk using both the gnome-disk-utility and gparted. + My system is a Virtualbox VM with the standard vdi file, that I did grow in Virtualbox with 2 GB using the virtual media manager menu.
