[Bug 808127] Re: can't resize partition

[Alex Engelmann]

Actually I think it has something to do with misaligned partitions.  I'm
still not sure how to fix it because of the way Ubiquity is working, but
there's others who have had trouble with 4k block size drives.  I
already filed a bug in Ubiquity about it:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/583790

GParted doesn't complain about misaligned partitions at all, not even
when Ubiquity or GNU Parted and Ubuntu's Disk Utility complain that
there's misaligned partitions.  Maybe that's a feature worth adding?
Not sure which programs to trust by this point for making partitions...

  can't resize partition

Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  I booted Ubuntu 11.04 from a live-usb and tried to resize my main
  ubuntu partitition with Gparted 0.7.0, but for some reason it keeps
  failing.  I tried turning SwapOff, but that made no difference.  After
  3 attempts, I'm a bit stumped and would appreciate any help.  I've
  attached the detail log.
