Is the disk or 1 of its partitions mounted ? If so, can it be unmounted 
? $0.02, no more, no less ....

On C6 (latest) I wanted to add an extra partition, number 14, to a 1TB
GPT disk.

It failed repeatedly. The error message is:-

Libparted 2.1

Does C6's version of Gparted work with GPT disks ?

Thanks.

Hi William, its the only HDD on that machine. All the partitions are
mounted. The error message refers to the HDD, not to any of the mounted
partitions.
