this is not so. fdisk says so, but it is wrong.
I asked H.G. for more info, and here is the result
(displayed in cylinders to ease comparison with fdisk)
- partitions
0.003922 -> 394.000000
394.003922 -> 893.000000
893.003922 -> 2933.000000
2933.003922 -> 3510.000000
3510.003922 -> 3541.000000
3541.003922 -> 4866.342484
- the extended
394.000000 -> 4866.342484
So the problem comes from diskdrake trying to use the full size of
harddrive [1], but hda9 is clearly not outside of the extended
partition.
PS: H.G, if you manage to resize using diskdrake, this incompatibility
should disappear :)
[1] only in mdk 8.2, it doesn't try anymore in later version.
