Re: Gparted Partitioning

Thank you for providing the gparted_details.htm log file.  These help tremendously when debugging.

From the log it appears an old version of GParted was used including an old version of resize2fs (part of e2fsprogs).  It is possible that you encountered a bug with this older version of resize2fs.

I suggest booting from media containing the latest GParted Live.  You might need to select the partition and run "Partition -> Check" first to repair any issues.
