There are bad sectors on your disks. Five of them have been marked as such, but there can be other ones which have not yet found bad and not marked. Above all, errors in reading or writing may result from mechanical wear, and not related to a specific sector. So there is no general rule about what you should do. ntfsresize is a user-space application. If it is buggy, it may lead to segmentation fault or other user-space faults. If you got kernel panics, there is something really bad at a lower level (hardware, disk driver, etc.) I such situation, first backup everything before trying anything else. ntfsinfo may be useful for assessing the situation, I see no useful use of ntfstruncate. > > Thank you > lbrtchx > > $ sudo ntfsresize --info /dev/sda2 > ntfsresize v2.0.0 (libntfs 10:0:0) > Device name : /dev/sda2 > NTFS volume version: 3.1 > Cluster size : 4096 bytes > Current volume size: 248485245440 bytes (248486 MB) > Current device size: 248485249024 bytes (248486 MB) > ERROR: This software has detected that the disk has at least 5 bad sectors. > **************************************************************************** > * WARNING: The disk has bad sector.

Please do just that, then backup everything. A previous ntfsresize may have left your device in an invalid state. After that you can try to resize, and if it fails again the same way, best to get a new disk.
