Bug ID: 424045 Summary: moving btrfs partition fails, creating ntfs and btrfs partition crashes all the harddisk and data Product: partitionmanager Version: 4.1.0 Platform: Manjaro OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: critical Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: andr...@stikonas.eu Reporter: li...@omdao.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 130009 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=130009&action=edit failure moving btrfs partition SUMMARY 1. moving btrfs partition fails. See attachment. It is in German language. Using a 1 TB hard disk with KDE Plasma on Manjaro Linux beside a 256 GB HD for OS. And here more bugs from other cases with the same hard disk. 2. Originally my hard disk was fully formated in NTFS 99% for data use and another 1% size partition was for MS Windows. I tried to shrink the NTFS part for having 2 halfs of the harddisk. Then I formatted the 2nd part into btrfs. It crashed all my data. Even the most professional recovery programs could rescue only a little. 3. Later after the crash I have deleted the whole hard disk and splitted it into 2 parts. I tried to format one half to NTFS and the 2nd half to btrfs. It said this does not work. Using a Windows platform partition manager easily I could format one half to NTFS and the other one to ext4. Later I used gparted to change the ext4 to btrfs. Sorry to talk so open but your partition manager is really rubbish. It cause terrific problems. It cost me 3 days of work for (partial) recovery. All free partition programs in Windows are much more reliable and offer more features. Compared gbparted still does not create those crashes as KDE partition manager. And it gives at least warnings for risky formats and explains what to consider before acting. Nothing like this for KDE partition manager STEPS TO REPRODUCE1. 2. 3.
