I think it might be to do with moving the start of the partition. I see from 
the docs that Parted can't move the start of an ext2 or ext3 partition so I'm

start of a partition involves shifting big wodges of data around. You might 
have interpreted this as your system freeze and turned it off before it had 
finished, maybe. This is a guess. I might spend a fun evening moving the start 
of partitions in VM's to see what happens and how long it takes.

Possible, but I don't think I saw any disk activity. I do know that the computer was responsive while it was working (I was checking some other things.) except that the gparted window didn't properly redraw after being covered. And yes, the partition is supposed to be ext4.
