Category: parted Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody (None) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: Assertion (metadata_length > 0) at dos.c:2011 [...] failed. Initial Comment: I tried to resize an ext3 partition, using the latest development version on Debian Sarge. It gracefully refused to do, saying "Assertion (metadata_length > 0) at dos.c:2011 [...] failed.". fsck afterwards didn't report errors. Parted believes i found a bug. The FAQ at http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/faq.html says it was fixed some time ago. Leslie P. Polzer at http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg01772.html says this bug was fixed in 1.7rc. I have included the output you reqire at the bug-report page and a full copy of the console output when trying to resize.
