That's precisely the problem. Ntfsresize only adjusts the size of the filesystem (in our case, made it smaller from 40G to 20G) but does not touch the partition itself. We specify relative size to ntfsresize, not absolute starting and ending cylinder numbers. So, coming from ntfsresize, when we go and use fdisk to actually resize the partition (delete and build two new smaller partitions over the old one), we only know relative sizes. My question is how to map the relative size of +20G (where G is in ntfsresize units of G=10^9) to the fdisk relative size of +?G Is this +20(10^9/(2^30)G = +18.6265G? (or its equivalent in absolute cylinder number)?
