[MLUG] resizing ext3 partitions using gparted

[Mike Miller <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I am using gparted to move and resize partitions.  There are two HDDs in a 
"software RAID" (RAID 1) kind of setup.  I see /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, 
which are identical and I assume those are the two disks.  So I tried 
first to do the resizing on SDA, then on SDB but I had the same errors for 
both.  It starts out like this:

   calibrate /dev/sdb3  00:00    ( SUCCES )

   path: /dev/sdb3
   start: 31262490
   end: 976768064
   size: 945505575 (450.85 GiB)


   calculate new size and position of /dev/sdb3  00:00    ( SUCCES )

   requested start: 72228240
   requested end: 976768064
   requested size: 904539825 (431.32 GiB)
   new start: 72228240
   new end: 976768064
   new size: 904539825 (431.32 GiB)

I see that I have "SUCCES" both times which is almost "SUCCESS", so I'm 
feeling pretty good, but this is what I see next:

   check filesystem on /dev/sdb3 for errors and (if possible) fix them 00:00 ( ERROR )

   e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sdb3

   Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?
   e2fsck 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007)
   e2fsck: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sdb3

I'm wondering if this error is due to the software RAID.  Any ideas?

Thanks.

Mike
