Trying to resize a gpt ntfs partition in uefi mode.
I am receiving a lot crap. First when gparted boots up it complains something about the alignment. gparted asks if it wants to fix it, I say yes, then I get two more windows with retry or ignore.
finally after all the ignores gparted pops up.
I tried to resize RAID0 gpt ntfs partition. I get this.
So your using firmware specified software raid, ISW (Intel Software RAID). The integrity of the GPT on /dev/mapper/isw_bfbhfhbdjb_Volume0 is questionable.
1) Please check the RAID array and confirm all drives and volumes are OK?
2) Please confirm the version of GParted being used? Latest is 0.23.0.
3) Please provide the output of the following commands:
sudo parted /dev/mapper/isw_bfbhfhbdjb_Volume0 print
sudo gdisk -l /dev/mapper/isw_bfbhfhbdjb_Volume0
sudo lsblk -o name,maj:min,rm,size,ro,type,fstype,label,mountpointSo your using firmware specified software raid, ISW (Intel Software RAID). The integrity of the GPT on /dev/mapper/isw_bfbhfhbdjb_Volume0 is questionable.

1. Yea, everything is fine. Win7x64 is fine, runs just great under raid0. No problems at all. Just to be sure, how would I check to make sure everything is ok?
2. Using the latest.

user@debian:~$Thank you for your time, I appreciate it.
In a virtual machine I created an ISW mirror pair RAID array using sdb and sdc. I then tried to use GParted from the Live CD to partition it with a GPT and create a file system.
When starting GParted I got the following dialog, twice:
==== Libparted Warning ====
/!\ Not all of the space available to /dev/sdb appears to be
used, you can fix the GPT to use all of the space (an
extra 9208 blocks) or continue with the current settings?
[ Fix ][ Ignore ]Once for /dev/sdb and once for /dev/sdc, the two physical drives on which the ISW mirror RAID array was created.
It appears that libparted is finding the GPT on the underlying disks of the RAID array and is probably offering to move it. Allowing this to be fixed might well destroy the RAID array by moving the primary and/or backup GPT on those disks to the start and/or end of the disk, overwriting the metadata.
When trying to create a partition under GPT on the RAID array it failed at the point of creating the file system because the partition device /dev/mapper/isw_bbhghdaeaf_Volume01 didn't exist.

To report the status of the RAID array run these commands:
sudo dmraid -r
sudo dmrais -sIt appears that GParted is broken and not able partition firmware specified software RAID arrays. It might even be dangerous to use.

user@debian:~$ I just tested creating a GPT partition table on an ISW FAKE RAID, and then creating a partition formatted with ext4 using GParted 0.23.0.
I did not receive any errors regarding space in the GPT, but the formatting of the ext4 partition failed because "/dev/mapper/isw_efjbbijhh_Vol01" did not exist. Upon checking the /dev/mapper directory I discovered that the partition path was "/dev/mapper/isw_efjbbijhh_Vol0p1". This is due to two different naming standards that were in use for dmraid FAKE RAID support and which version is supported in your particular libparted version.
You can use the libparted standard by configuring with the option "--enable-libparted-dmraid". See https://git.gnome.org/browse/gparted/tree/README#n122
After rebuilding with configure option "--enable-libparted-dmraid", creating a new ext4 formatted partition worked for me.
