Comment 2 for bug 326604

I have also just seen this happen on my system using Jaunty Alpha 4 Live CD. I tried to resize an NTFS system (Windows 7 beta) and it just sat there for 10 minutes or so. Finally a message came up saying it could not write the changes to the disk. I rebooted the Live CD and attempted it again with the same result. Here's some output:
