I'm having a problem with parted executing very slowly.
I tried to resize a partition a 16G FAT32 on my Gentoo Linux system
(2.4.20-lolo-r2_pre5 kernel, Athlon 1.2GHz, 512M RAM, 80G UDMA 66 disk).
I tried to resize my last partition, which was 16G to free up 10G. It was 10%
full (~1.6G so 6G should be ok). Parted seem to be working with 100% CPU
utilisation, but I see only a short blink of the HDD led in every 3-4 seconds.
dmesg contains only the line "invalidate: busy buffer" in it. It is still
running, but I think I'll have to abort the resize process. I backed up my
most important data anyway.
Possible problem: I unmounted this partition using unmount -l because another
computer accessed it via samba. After it I restarted the samba service before
starting parted.
