Last time I tried parted to resize ext3 it told me I had certain 
parameters running on the drive preventing resizing.

Unfortunately it didn't tell me which parameters were causing it to bomb 
out.

At the time I was in a hurry and couldn't find an answer anywhere so 
re-installed, but you may want to persist with parted some more, as it's 
error messages were far more direct then qtparted, which just had 
everything I wanted greyed out.

Regards,
Ed.
