Re: Cannot make partition larger.

Can you give more precise information on the problem?
The referenced video concerns expanding a virtual server using an older (0.25) GParted version.

Gparted version used ?
from the GParted Live cd - version? or from any other live cd  or installed on the computer ?
Details and screenshot from your partition setup
GParted detail report.
What exactly you did.
Using the English screen version of the live cd would be helpful too.

*** It is highly recommended to backup any important files before doing resize/move operations. ***

Re: Cannot make partition larger.

The English translation of the error dialog is:

Could not add this operation to the list

GParted Bug: A partition cannot end (1758214144) after the end of the device (%2)

This error message is new in GParted 1.1.0, introduced by commit Replace partition boundary trimming with bug error messages (#48)
Including not filling out the second parameter so getting (%2) reported.
