[Parted-maintainers] Bug#380226: NTFS alignement problem ...

[Sven Luther]

Hi, ...

On Xavier Oswald's proding, i had a look at the history of this bug. I don't
really know much about NTFS and other windowy filesystems, so i cannot really
give much info, which is why i didn't help investigate these bugs.

Now, one of the recomendation was to change the alignement issues, and there
was a note of the current way of things being so for pre-LBA compatibility
issues, which brang into memory the whole huge set of problems which where
present 1-2 years ago with windowy filesystem resizing.

As such, i strongly urge you (Maybe otavio or xavier are the best candidates
for that), to take contact with upstream, and not to try to solve the issue
alone in debian, and possibly do something which may break the other
compatibility issue affecting older hardware, which we may or not be able to
detect before the etch release.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
