Hi there I think I've found a bug in parted<br><br>I have created a Debian Live system on a 2 GB USB key.<br>Here is what it looks like on the USB key:<br><br>[root@cobra] /root>fdisk -l /dev/sdb<br>Disk /dev/sdb: 2013 MB, 2013265920 bytes<br>
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 244 cylinders<br>Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes<br>Disk identifier: 0x0007a8d3<br> Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System<br> /dev/sdb1 * 1 101 811251 83 Linux<br>
<br>You see there is about 1.2 GB free after that Linux partition.<br><br>I am trying to move that Linux partition to the end of the 2 GB USB key.<br>This way I will be able to create a 1.2 GB FAT32 partition at the beginning<br>
of the USB key.<br><br>Here is what I am doing:<br>[root@cobra] /root>parted /dev/sdb move 1 1200M 0M<br>Error: The file system is bigger than its volume!<br><br>Ouch ! parted won't let me move the partition !<br><br>
I have filed this bug as Debian Bug in package parted version 1.7.1-5.1. <br>It is Debian bug 469842: <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/469842">http://bugs.debian.org/469842</a><br><br>Would be nice if this could be fixed :)<br clear="all">
