GParted freezes during partition resize

[Sergey Zolotarev]

GParted UI becomes unresponsive after some time while resizing an ext2 partition. This has happened to me 2 times in the last day.

System log is filled with over 300MB of this:

blk_partition_remap: fail for partition 5

See the attached compressed syslog file (syslog-short.tar.xz).

It appears you were working with a USB drive and it was unplugged during the install. You probably have a hardware problem.
