I've encountered parted and gparted crashing on FAT resize too. This looks like GNU libparted bug #16338 . There is a patch for it: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-parted/2014-04/msg00013.html
gparted-0.19.0 includes this fix, and will hopefully be in utopic. It's in the latest SystemRescueCd-4.3.0 which I used without problems to shrink the FAT32 partition on my kubuntu-live on a memory stick. (This allowed me to create a separate FAT32 /work partition which is then easy to use for moving files on and off kubuntu-live.) Who can I ask sweetly to backport gparted-0.19.0 into Trusty? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1313600 Title: gparted crashes when trying to resize fat32 partition on live USB To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/1313600/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
