Package: partitionmanager Version: 22.12.3-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? I was trying to resize a btrfs partition. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I saw partitionmanager invoke "btrfsck --repair" on the partition without asking. * What was the outcome of this action? I immediately killed partitionmanager, and still suffer from shock! :) * What outcome did you expect instead? btrfsck --repair is well known to corrupt data, and under no circumstances must a program run it without explicitly asking the user. Note the warning message that the program outputs: WARNING: Do not use --repair unless you are advised to do so by a developer or an experienced user, This is not an idle warning to be ignored. MAybe one day in the future, btrfsck --repair will be as useful as other fsck programs, but at this point in time, running btrfsck --repair almost invariably results in making things worse rather than better. -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.0 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (990, 'stable-updates'), (990, 'stable-security'), (990, 'stable'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'oldstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386, x32 Kernel: Linux 6.1.37-schmorp (SMP w/24 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_USER, TAINT_WARN, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_IE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages partitionmanager depends on: ii kio 5.103.0-1 ii libc6 2.36-9 ii libkf5configcore5 5.103.0-2 ii libkf5configgui5 5.103.0-2 ii libkf5configwidgets5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5coreaddons5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5crash5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5dbusaddons5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5i18n5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5jobwidgets5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5kiocore5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5kiogui5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5widgetsaddons5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5windowsystem5 5.103.0-1 ii libkf5xmlgui5 5.103.0-1 ii libkpmcore12 22.12.3-1 ii libpolkit-qt5-1-1 0.114.0-2 ii libqt5core5a 5.15.8+dfsg-11 ii libqt5gui5 5.15.8+dfsg-11 ii libqt5widgets5 5.15.8+dfsg-11 ii libstdc++6 12.2.0-14 partitionmanager recommends no packages.
