I encountered the same with external fat32 disk. I tried it couple of times and got one more error: gpartedbin: malloc.c:3695: _int_malloc: Assertion `(unsigned long) (size) >= (unsigned long) (nb)' failed.
---- I tested upstream gparted from git (acbf08ce0c291348ba6900d440e9249f842180db), it gave different error, so I'm not sure is it affected or not. (Bad FAT: unterminated chain for \FSCK0052.REC.) git clone git://git.gnome.org/gparted cd gparted ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=`pw`/build make make install cd build/sbin ./gparted ---- Finally I got partition shrank with: sudo dosfsck -w -r -l -a -v -t /dev/sdc1 and using parted. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1313600 Title: gparted crashes when trying to resize fat32 partition on live USB To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/1313600/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
