Topic: Hyper-V virtual machine & GParted 0.4.8-7

1) I created a new hyper-v vm, the "c" is 127gb (host is server 2008 r2, tried both Server 2008 sp2 x64 & 2008 r2 vm's)

2) using built in hyper-v tools, I expanded the disk by 23gb to 150gb

3) now I have an allocated "c" drive of 127gb & an unallocated partition of 23gb

4) if I allocate the new 23gb ("e" drive) & then boot using GParted, GP "see's" an unallocated partition of 127 (it does not see the "e") & all the PM menu's are grayed out.

5) if I do not allocate the new 23gb partition & then boot using GP, GP only "see's" an unallocated partition of 500mb.

any ideas?

You could try to view the partition table with the following two commands:

fdisk -l -u

where one of the options is a lower case "L" and not a one.

parted -l print

where one of the options is a lower case "L" and not a one.

Also the following article on Wikipedia seems to imply that Hyper-V does not fully support GNU/Linux in each Linux kernel:
