** Description changed: Binary package hint: gparted Running from a live cd image of ubuntu 9.04 through virtual box. When trying to shrink a partition (on a virtual box HDD) I got a message saying the e2fsck should be run on the affected partition. It was run and finished without errors: - check file system on /dev/sda5 for errors and (if possible) fix them 00:04:02 ( SUCCESS ) - - e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sda5 - .... + check file system on /dev/sda5 for errors and (if possible) fix them + 00:04:02 ( SUCCESS ) - shrink file system 00:00:01 ( ERROR ) - - resize2fs /dev/sda5 15791863K - resize2fs 1.41.4 (27-Jan-2009) - Please run 'e2fsck -f /dev/sda5' first. + e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sda5 + .... + + shrink file system 00:00:01 ( ERROR ) + + resize2fs /dev/sda5 15791863K + resize2fs 1.41.4 (27-Jan-2009) + Please run 'e2fsck -f /dev/sda5' first. (full output attached) Manually running e2fsck followed by resize2fs ends in the same result. Performing the operation on another partition (/dev/sda6) also fails. Note: resizing partitions inside a virtual box disk (VDI) using a gparted from a livecd is the recommended way (http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=29276#29276).
