No, I'm not using gparted but "gnu parted", the command line tool, as I already mentioned above. From what I understood so far, gparted doesn't handle GPT** disks at all.
From the wiki gparted topic:
GParted is a GTK+ frontend to GNU Parted and the official GNOME Partition Editor application.
I think gparted can do anything gnu parted can do. The warning about ext4 in the topic you linked is from 2009, and recommends using gparted with a version higher than 0.6.2-2. Gparted 0.14.0-1 is currently in the Arch repo, so I think it's probably safe.

**What I meant and should have said: resizing of ext4 partitions:

Just drag the sliders around in gparted.
# pacman -S gparted
# gparted
And don't forget to mark the topic as solved (by editing the first post) so that other people (including yourself sometimes) may find useful.

1 Run parted on your device: parted /dev/sdX
2 Change display unit to sectors: unit s
3 Print current partition table and note the start sector for your partition: p
4 Delete your partition (won't delete the data or filesystem): rm <number>
5 Recreate the partition with the starting sector from above: mkpart primary <start> <end>
6 Exit parted: quit
7 Check the filesystem: sudo e2fsck -f /dev/sdXX
8 Resize filesystem: sudo resize2fs /dev/sdXX
I'd like to increase partition #2 from 200 Gig to 300 Gig using gnu parted.

What is the correct way for doing this?
