[solved] Resize doesn't work

Thanks, I agree it looks like many people have used it OK.

I did some more digging, and while the recusrive partition error is for dev/sdj (my usb disk, another one this time), that doesnt' appear to the error. Click in 'information' for /dev/md127 gives me an error with dumpe2fs and short read on the superblock? Strange. I'm going to try parted magic, and if I get the same error, follow this guide on repairing a superblock.

Same error on parted magic.. Back to Googling..

I wonder if I can run gparted locally, without a boot disk, as long as I unmount the ext4 file system.. I might try that.

You can't unmount the filesystem as long as there are shares on it, not even via CLI if I remember correctly.

I just saw this posted above from mcflym

So you have to check the partition to resize!

It was at the very bottom of his post so I missed it, so I am attempting to 'check' the partition in gparted first, and will see if I can resize afterward.

Well great. Going on almost 1 hour and gparted appears to be hung. I don't hear any HDD usage either.

Edit - 'top' has gpartedbin @ 99.0-99.9% of CPU utilization, with e2fsck showing 0-3% utilization. I guess I will just let it run for a while and see if gparted comes back to life.

Is there any news on this topic? I've got the exactly same problem.
