Bug Description

Binary package hint: gparted on Edgy

gparted allows resizeing of a hibernated ntfs partition. Gparted first changes the size of the partition and then trys to run ntfsresize, which refuses to do its work on a hibernated ntfs partition. Therefore you get left with a not correctly resized partition.

Somthing like a precheck might be useful.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
