I'm not sure if this is the place for this, but I think that this is a gnome problem
I just finished re-partitioning my Asus eeepc 1000 which has two solid state drives one 8gb and the other 32gb. I removed a partition from each drive and switched which drives my swap was on. Everything worked great and fdisk now shows the current results:
Disk /dev/sda: 8069 MB, 8069677056 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 981 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

Disk /dev/sdb: 32.3 GB, 32279224320 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3924 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

/dev/sdb5 3670 3924 2048287+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sdb6 2863 3669 6482196 83 Linux
I then went into /ect/fstab to get my new swap file working. While I was there I decided to also try and get my new partitions mounting correctly. Here's how the file looks now:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
/dev/sda1 / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /home was on /dev/sdb1 during installation
UUID=682e8df2-0aed-49c7-9e82-65b3372c9739 /home ext3 defaults 0 2
# /shed was on /dev/sdb6 during installation

# swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation
UUID=09bf9a4b-bac5-4273-9f2d-852d2d2c8bdf none swap sw 0 0
When I restarted, the old partitions seem somehow to still be mounted in the filesystem. My old partitions were mounted to /shed /outhouse and /sideb and these folders still exist in the root directory. If I try to do anything (create or move a new file or folder) to them it appears that I lack permissions.
I'm clearly missing a step, but I'm at about the limits of my ubuntu knowledge and I would appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction.
