Package: fatresize
Version: 1.0.2-3
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
After running fatresize on my iPod nano, it refused to boot. The
firmware partition disappeared from the partition table.
iPod partition tables are a bit bizarre and even cfdisk doesn't handle
them correctly; only sfdisk is safe on them. Here's a dump of a correct
iPod nano partition table:
# partition table of /dev/sda
unit: sectors
/dev/sda1 : start= 63, size= 160587, Id= 0
/dev/sda2 : start= 160650, size= 7823655, Id= b
/dev/sda3 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0
/dev/sda4 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0
You see the first partition with Id=0? It holds the iPod's loadable
firmware. Many partitioning tools interpret Id=0 as "this is free space"
and just remove the record from the partition table. The ROM firmware
doesn't like this at all and shows you a screen that instructs you to
restore your iPod with iTunes.
I question why fatresize would even have to touch the partition table.
The other filesystem resize tools for Linux (ext2resize for example)
don't, you have to resize the partitions yourself before enlarging (or
after reducing) the filesystem.
Note: I rated the data loss as non-serious because most people have
their music stored safely on their personal computer, so restoring it is
not a problem. If that's not the case, however, one's screwed.
