Partman still shows the same error (operation impossible due to an unknown error). btw, does partman use ext2resize or (lib)parted ? It uses libparted, I think. About the error message you get, it happened also to me and I think it is a limitation of parted, not an error. I suggest you to reassign this bug report to libparted and change its severity to wishlist, asking for a more verbose error message, that would explain what the real problem is. Parted has very specific and detailed error messages, so I think the author will likely reply soon to your request.

Do you have any error message? Opps, sorry. The message is The resize operation is impossible - Because of an unknown reason it is impossible to resize this partition. Why you think this is a partman problem instead of an ext2resize bug? Good question. To be honest, I assumed it was partman only cause that's were the error occured. Now I investigated a bit ;-) When I try to manually resize the partition with parted, I get the error Filesystem was not cleanly unmounted. You should e2fsck. Modifying an unclean filesystem could cause severe corruption. After using e2fsck, parted resizes without a problem. On the x86 (160gb ide) On the pegasos2 (40gb ide) I still get the following error (after using e2fsck) with parted: No implementation: This ext2 filesystem has a rather strange layout!

Bug#285354: cannot resize some (ext3) partitions (ppc+x86)
package: partman version: rc2 Hi, I tried resizing today. In general it works, great! But on two different machines (one x86-k6 with an 160gb ide and a pegasos2 (with amiga disklabels) and a 40gb ide) I encountered two partitions which cannot resize, which is think I should be able to do. These are the partition-tables (created with parted $dev print), on the pegasos I was able to resize swap, backup, varlog and home (but not root and boot, nor mos nor mos-data - but I don't care about the last two) and on the x86 I was able to resize swap but not boot.
