<PRE>I have entered a couple partitioning bugs myself...
Not similar to this one though.
Important is to enter it in bugzilla at all, with as many details you can.
-And i see you have done a good job to start with :)
Someone can then fill in or edit package or whatever.
It would also be interesting to know what other tools say.
gparted?
Thanks
