Hmm. If no one chimes in here, you may want to try posting over in the qtparted forum.
I'm trying to free up enough disk space to knx=hdinstall on a 30G drive by resizing my FAT32 primary using Qtparted.
When I start qtpartted from the root shell:
Error: \BOOTLOG.PRV is 63k, but it has 5 clusters (80k).
And when I try a resize operation Qtparted reports:
An error happen during ped_file_system_open_call
and reloads the disk info.
BTW - how to capture command output for display in a post - retyping is a drag.

--Same thing happened to me on an old Toshiba laptop with a 4-gig drive. Since I'm selling the laptop anyway I just flamed the drive clean and started over.
--I think the Mandrake install disks let you resize, but haven't done it myself. (I use Partition Magic.)

Easy peasy! Put the cursor on the console, hold the left mouse button down to highlight, get focus on where you want to paste the text (right click) and just hit the middle mouse button (or left and right together on a 2 button mouse).
Thanks for the tip, Fingers. (I get it - A Fingertip! Anyway no replies on the qtparted forum yet. Here's some ouput from mount and parted (found on the STD distro)
mount
