Hrm... repeated operations to the same partition already are supposed to be optimized out. I'm confused as to what actually was going on. Looking at the list of operations you provided, it looks like sda1 was resized/moved around twice, and then created. That doesn't make sense since you can't manipulate a partition that doesn't exist yet.
It might help to avoid this kind of long running unintentional job to simply add a warning whenever moving a partition that moving partitions takes a VERY long time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/958246 Title: allow cancellation of steps that haven't started yet To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gparted/+bug/958246/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
