Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ntfsprogs
Hello,
I just resized an NTFS partition using gparted, and then by mistake overwritten
its boot sector with something else.
NTFS partitions should end with a copy of the boot sector (first 512 bytes).
However, I didn't find the backup there.
It caused me quite a lot of trouble. At the end I used the original backup,
which was found where the original file system ended.
To summarize: ntfsresize should copy the boot sector to the end of the
file system after it resizes it.
I'm using Ubuntu 8.10, the version of ntfsprogs is 2.0.0-1ubuntu2.
Thanks,
Noam
