i experienced the same problem on a 64 bit ubuntu 7.10 with a 4,5 tb hardware-raid which i formated as one whole partition. after rebooting the machine and mounting the partition there were only 95 gb left on it and running fsck i encountered a lot of errors.
as a solution (after two days of not finding this side or any other description of the problem) i used pau's ppa with the version 1.8.8 of parted and now everything works fine (moltes gracies per això!).
