In my case using gparted to resize a partition within the extended partition caused the problem.
dpkg -p gparted | grep Version Version: 0.4.5-2 I suggest: fixed it up with booting from a live-cd and using a usb-key. sfdisk -d /dev/hda>hda.out where hda.out is in on my usb key. then sfdisk /dev/hda -O backup.hda<hda.out to simply rewrite the partiton table saved as hda.out the backup.hda is a backup (made on my usb key too) in case something goes wrong. or b) fdisk advanced mode by pressing x show help m and use the f option write changes w then reboot you may also need to adjust your /boot/grub/menu.lst, and also your /etc/fstab P.S. I have included the gparted package version in the Description field Also please refer to parted bug list. -- cfdisk complains about auto-resize generated setup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107023 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
