In terms of merging operations, only consecutive move/resize actions on the same partition can be merged. As soon as another partition move/resize is introduced the disk partition boundaries are changed so we cannot simply merge non-consecutive move/resizes.
The series of steps listed in comment #3 is a bit confusing. Darxus, In the future you can save the gparted_details.html log file and post it with the bug report. This will help in resolving issues. Philllip, All moves currently contain the following warning message: Moving a partition might cause your operating system to fail to boot. You have queued an operation to move the start sector of partition /path-to-partition. Failure to boot is most likely to occur if you move the GNU/Linux partition containing /boot, or if you move the Windows system partition C:. You can learn how to repair the boot configuration in the GParted FAQ. http://gparted.org/faq.php Moving a partition might take a very long time to apply. This is a long message that perhaps is overlooked. Perhaps this could be reworded better? -- 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
