The problem arises using the ntfsresize command from the ntfsprogs package. Unfortunately the ntfsprogs package does not appear to be actively maintained so I do not have much hope that a fix will be forthcoming for this problem anytime soon.
Fortunately there are ways to work around this problem though as you have discovered. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/789977 Title: Failed to reduce size of NTFS partition -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
