[ubuntu-in] partition resize using gparted

[Alok Singh Mahor]

Hi all,
shrinking and expanding partition using gparted in old version of ubuntu
were very fast. moving a partition was only time consuming task and time
depend on size of partition.

but in new version of ubuntu gparted takes long time in shrinking and
expanding partition i guess its because it moves fragmented spaces and
moving is very time consuming so overall time of shrining or expanding a
partition is shrinking or expanding time plus time taken in moving
fragmented spaces. that is huge if we are expanding or shrinking a big
partition.

to save time I want to ignore fragmented space. is there any way to shrink
or expand partition without taking care of small fragmentation using
gparted or any other tool?
