Hi, I am having trouble getting any partition utilities to work. With the mandrake partition utility I have to unmount the partition I am using, which effectively makes partitioning impossible. I have been able to get QT parted to work in simply mepis running as live cd, but it seems that I can break and resize a partition, but creating a new partition after that is impossible. It seems like these partition utilities should just have a "create new partition" option but they dont. So could someone please either tell me what to do after resizing, or tell me how to use the console to reparition?
