I have had, but it was rather the occurence of: "user has generated an
error blah blah blah" ;-) I've created and formated the partition using
qtparted. My fault, I haven't check it with fstab; qtparted has formated
my /home partition instead of the new created.
Another issue: with qtparted you cannot do all these move/resize things
you can do with parted (AFAIR I couldn't move ext2 partitions).
BTW, qtparted/parted did not work with ext3, I needed to remove journal
first (tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/hdaX ).
