"Error unmounting: target is busy" when resizing volume in Disks (to enable hibernate)

[axylox]

I'm trying to enable hibernation on my system by following this guide:

[HOW TO] Enable Hibernate Option on ZorinOS 16 or other Gnome distros

Hi! So you need hibernate option but kinda disappointed it doesn't come enabled by default on Linux distros. Well, here's a small guide on how to enable hibernation on ZorinOS 16. This guide should work for both Core and Pro versions. Requirements You need to have a swap partition. If you're not sure if you have one, open the 'Disks' app and see if you do (you probably won't if you're on defaults). [image] [image] If you don't have one, it's pretty easy to make it. In the Disks app, firs…

On step 5 when I resize the volume in Disks to create a swap partition, I get the following error:

Error unmounting /dev/nvme0n1p2: target is busy (udisks-error-quark, 14)

It's because I'm currently using that partition right? Would it work if I live boot Zorin from a USB and do this step there?

There are active or pending disk writes, it won't let you alter the partition, yes doing it from a liveusb will work, can also try a reboot, and try again, if it is your / or /home then a liveusb will be the best

Thanks, I tried it (with a Mint USB) and it worked. Then I just followed the rest of the steps on my main Zorin. (but hibernation still doesn't work I'll open a new thread for that)
