For installed systems, I think what swap partitions are used depends on what is configured on install, and that depends on what's available on install. Or what's added by the admin afterwards of course. Anyway, unmounting the swap partition (from inside GParted or otherwise) should solve your problem. The fact that you can't change the partition table on a device that has one or more partitions in use is by design. -- Cannot resize partition on drive where swap partition resides https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/544520 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: gparted Have 3 physical discs. SDB is partitioned as follows: SDB1- 680GB NTFS - Label "media". SDB3 - 10 GB ext3 label "Puppy". SDB4 - 8 GB Swap partition. I am able to freely manage all partitions on all drives with one exception: I cannot resize any partitions on SDB, though the option to delete or format them is there. I am assuming this has something to do with the swap partition being on that drive (it is the only thing that could be an indicator, as all 3 drives have both NTFS and ext2, 3, or 4 partitions on them.
