This appeared on #par...@freenode.net: <nicholas_> tring to resize an ext2 partition on an ibook (g3 ppc), i get "error: block relocator should have relocated 519". <nicholas_> it's not clear to me whether this is a dupe of 48 (closed worksforme) or 183 (which has no comment on it) <nicholas_> what additional information would particularly help understand what's going wrong? <nicholas_> ?! submission rejected as potential spam!? <nicholas_> alright. so i stuck the bug report here: http://parted.pastebin.com/m3e341ae5. this is with parted 1.8.8-dirty-git. *** nicholas_ (n=nicho...@dsl092-001-127.sfo1.dsl.speakeasy.net) has quit:
Thanks for the report. However, not only is 1.8.8 old enough that you really should not be using it anymore, but that the version you're using is called "-dirty-git" implies that someone did the release using changes that had not been committed. That is even more reason to avoid that version. Besides, you should try hard to avoid using parted proper to perform file system operations like "resize", since parted uses old and known-buggy file-system-manipulation code. Please consider using a tool like gparted if you want to resize, move, or otherwise manipulate the *contents* of a partition (the file system). It uses well-maintained library code to perform most FS-related tasks. _______________________________________________ parted-devel mailing list parted-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/parted-devel
