Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gparted
Error: If the gparted-version on the live-cd is used to resize an ntfs- partition which was not unmounted cleanly before (e.g. power-loss from within a windows-session), the partition doesn't get resized. Unfortunately no error-message is shown, when gparted calls ntfsresize several times, and so the user thinks, all of the resizing-process worked fine. things to reproduce: * partition /dev/hda1 - ntfs-partition, windows system volume * start windows on /dev/hda1, let it crash (e.g. power loss) * boot with the live-cd of dapper and resize the partition /dev/hda1 from within gparted * all seems to work fine, but nothing happens to the partition, because ntfsresize reports an error due to the missing clean unmount which gparted doesn't recognize. Perhaps a newer version of gparted helps out, the version 0.1 included on the live-cd is already 1,5 years old. ** Affects: gparted (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Live-Cd: Resizing of NTFS-partition fails when not dismounted cleanly before - error-message missing https://launchpad.net/bugs/57959 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
