Ben - The issue is only in Lucid. I have Karmic and Intrepid on other partitions (as well as Puppy in 3 incarnations), and any of those Linux OSes except Intrepid (which is installed on that partition) have the ability to resize the partition. Lucid is on another partition alltogether, and SDB is NOT mounted. A live CD can resize the partition as well. I think it has something to do with the swap partition being on that physical drive.
I will try swapoff from the terminal, then run gparted to see if that works. -Matthew Gardiner http://www.az1photo.com --- On Fri, 3/26/10, bbordwell <benbordw...@hotmail.com> wrote: From: bbordwell <benbordw...@hotmail.com> Subject: [Bug 544520] Re: Cannot resize partition on drive where swap partition resides To: flash...@yahoo.com Date: Friday, March 26, 2010, 12:01 AM Thank you for your bug report. I am guessing that the different is that sdb is mounted. Try booting from a live disk and then running gparted to confirm. -- Cannot resize partition on drive where swap partition resides https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/544520 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: gparted Have 3 physical discs. SDB is partitioned as follows: SDB1- 680GB NTFS - Label "media". SDB3 - 10 GB ext3 label "Puppy". SDB4 - 8 GB Swap partition. I am able to freely manage all partitions on all drives with one exception: I cannot resize any partitions on SDB, though the option to delete or format them is there. I am assuming this has something to do with the swap partition being on that drive (it is the only thing that could be an indicator, as all 3 drives have both NTFS and ext2, 3, or 4 partitions on them.
