Reboot [sic.] after commiting changes. There is seems to be an issue 
with the kernel not reloading partition tables on busy drives, or at 
least so says qtparted's site.

If it does not help, run qtparted from a terminal and watch the output, 
it might be quite indicative of the problem. If you still can't see the 
issue, try running qtparted through strace and ltrace.

Good luck,
