Package: qtparted
Version: 0.4.4-2

Trying to chop 640MB off an old fat32 data partition (hda3) I got this error dialogue:

an error happen during ped_file_system_resize call

On the console it printed another message, but I do not know when exactly it printed that (before, during or after the resize commit):

Warning: File system is reporting the free space as -1 clusters, not 184740 clusters.

This is fdisk -l output:

Disk /dev/hda: 6448 MB, 6448619520 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 784 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 441 3542301 83 Linux

/dev/hda3 507 751 1967962+ b W95 FAT32
/dev/hda4 752 784 265072+ 83 Linux

(hda4 is actually my swap partition, only the type is not set to swap; but qtparted correctly identifies it as such)

And again for fdisk -l -u:

Disk /dev/hda: 6448 MB, 6448619520 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 784 cylinders, total 12594960 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

/dev/hda4 12064815 12594959 265072+ 83 Linux

I'll keep the partition layout for now; if you want me to try certain things please let me now ASAP so I can go ahead and relayout the disk using other methods.
