[Parted-maintainers] Bug#380226: NTFS (partition) not recreated correctly after resize:incorrect start sector

[Frans Pop]

reopen 380226
found 380226 1.7.1-4
thanks

I'm afraid this version of libparted is still broken when it comes to 
resizing an NTFS partition.

Partition before resize (units = sectors):
   /dev/sda1   *        2048    40964047    20480000    7  HPFS/NTFS
Partition after resize (units = sectors):
   /dev/sda1   *       16065    29318624    14651280    7  HPFS/NTFS

It seems that libparted now aligns the partition on the 2nd cylinder as 
the header from fdisk (with units = cylinders) shows:
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

I also endlessly get the following messages in the partman log that I 
cannot remember ever having seen before:
parted_server: resize_partition(openfs=false)
parted_server: try to check the file system for errors
parted_server: successfully checked

I would suggest reverting to the previous version in unstable and 
requesting any new version to be tested before uploading it.

Cheers,
FJP
