[Bug 54119] Re: Edgy Installer: Partitioning Tool cannot enlarge logical ntfs partitions to the left

[Mantas Kriaučiūnas]

I can confirm this bug.

It seems this bug would be fixed simply to upgrading to new gparted
0.3.x upstream version (look at bug #81185 ), released on 2006-09-04,
look at the release notes
(http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=444805&group_id=115843

This release includes one of the most exiting features since the first release;
We finally have full move support!! Although it should be considered a bit experimental, our tests worked out perfectly and we didn't see any errors so far.

Special thanks for this release go to:
JanC, for the initial idea on how to implement moving.
Brother Larry, for the enormous amount of time he put into testing and bughunting.

New Features:
* it is now possible to move the start of filesystems.
* much improved progressfeedback during move and copy
* you can now move and copy ntfs filesystems and still boot windows from them
* overall improved progressfeedback (more details you don't want to know about ;) )

Translations (new/updated):
ja, es, vi, gl, nl, de, sv, lt, lv, hu, fi, fr, mk

Changes:
* mostly internal, far more exact calculations of partition geometry
* dependencies raised for libparted (now 1.7.1) and gtkmm (now 2.8)
* some trivial HIG stuff..
* due to cleanups the resulting binary is about 15% smaller
        
Bugfixes:
* automountdisabling should work ok now
* fixed some errors with scanning for used sectors on ntfs filesystems
* other small stuff i can't remember :)
