Gparted shows the following warning about a partition.
9.23 GiB of unallocated space within the partition.
To grow the file system to fill the partition, select the partition and choose the menu item:
Partition --> Check
After attempting to do that check and repair operation in gparted I get the following error:

As indicated by the error message:

e2fsck 1.42.13 (17-May-2015)
/dev/sdb2 has unsupported feature(s): metadata_csum
e2fsck: Get a newer version of e2fsck!

the version of e2fsprogs package is too old to support the feature mentioned.

One way to use a more recent version of e2fsprogs is to boot from more recent live media such as the latest GParted Live. The latest GParted Live 0.30.0-1 includes e2fsprogs 1.43.6-1.
