GParted uses a library from the parted project (libparted) to manipulate
partitions. If parted discovers a problem with the partition table, then
GParted will similarly be unable to edit the partition table.
Unfortunately, GParted versions up to and including 0.5.0 do not display
the problem in the GUI. The error is displayed in a terminal session if
GParted is started from the command line.
You can also discover the error by running parted directly on the device:
For example:
parted /path-to-your-disk-device unit s print
Where /path-to-your-disk-device is something like /dev/sda
This problem has been tracked under the following upstream bug report:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337244
The fix for this problem will be included in the next upstream release
of GParted.
