You are missing the point. Re-read the initial bug. I can resize a partition on a drive that has another partition mounted on it (say, ntfs, or ext3). However I cannot resize a partition on a drive where the swap partition resides unless I run swapoff. Perhaps this is inherent, but I have never noticed it before.

I have never been able to resize partitions on a device that's "in use", so this is certainly not exclusive to Lucid? -- 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.
