It has come to my attention that gparted can correctly move ext3/4 partitions while parted can not. It seems that gparted has its own move implementation instead of using the one in libparted. I was wondering, is this the case, and if so, why has that not been moved to libparted so that both can benefit from it?
When I try moving a partition with parted, it complains about what feature bits are in use on the filesystem, but why does it care? Shouldn't it just be reading a number of blocks from the original location and writing them to the destination? Well, I suppose it would be nice to consult the block allocation bitmap so you can skip blocks not in use, but not strictly required. _______________________________________________ parted-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/parted-devel
