Opps, sorry. The message is "The resize operation is impossible - Because of an unknown reason it is impossible to resize this partition." > Why you think this is a partman problem instead of an > ext2resize bug? Good question. To be honest, I assumed it was partman only cause that's were the error occured. Now I investigated a bit ;-) When I try to manually resize the partition with parted, I get the error "Filesystem was not cleanly unmounted. You should e2fsck. Modifying an unclean filesystem could cause severe corruption." After using e2fsck, parted resizes without a problem. On the x86 (160gb ide) On the pegasos2 (40gb ide) I still get the following error (after using e2fsck) with parted: "No implementation: This ext2 filesystem has a rather strange layout! Parted can't resize this (yet)." - Maybe because there are only primary partitions, no extended ? Partman still shows the same error ("operation impossible due to an unknown error"). btw, does partman use ext2resize or (lib)parted ? > Thank,s > Giuseppe thank you to, regards, Holger -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
