Hello !
I'm unable to resize the extended partition on my disk. I cannot
even "resize" it to the current size, I'm always getting the
error message quoted below.
There is something non-standard in my setup, the 40GB disk
is set to 32GB with jumpers on the drive, because the BIOS
is rather old. I have noticed that fdisk has no problem to
create a new primary partition on the extra space so I thought
I could expand the existing hda8 filesystem and wanted
to expand the extended partition first.
Any help would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Vlado
