I get the same issues with the internal HDD. There's an NTFS partition and if it's not mounted I can't run Gparted. It will hang at "searching /dev/sda partitions". If I close Gparted I can't access any NTFS partitions on that drive. There's no dosfsck running but I do notice ntfsresize is running. When I kill that I can access my partitions again. I can't unmount the NTFS partition using Gparted because as soon as it tries it does the above.
I resized this partition using Gparted a few days ago - Gparted indicated the process was successful. Windows can access it. Seems like a problem caused by Gparted invoking ntfsresize - why should it do that? I noticed this problem when trying to install Mint and Ubuntu - the install process never reaches the disk partitioning stage. Obviously a nasty issue if first-time Ubuntu users come across it. -- Intrepid, Hardy: Gparted freezes with external USB HD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121943 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
