(Get the code!)
Thanks for that info, it's very interesting. I ran "sudo ntfsresize --info --force --no-progress-bar /dev/sda8" and it took over 6 minutes. Then I opened GParted with the NTFS partition unmounted and it hung for 6 minutes. Then I started GParted with the NTFS partition mounted then used GParted to unmount it - it hung for ... 6 minutes.
I suppose I was being a *little* impatient before, however I did abort two installs and killed GParted numerous times before I found out what was going on here so it seems like something in this interaction between GParted and ntfsresize needs to be fixed.
