I am seeing exactly the same problem with parted version 1.6.3-31. In testing whether it's an ext3 issue - it shouldn't be as it's supported, I converted the ext3 partition to ext2 and retried; but to no avail. I am getting the same error on an ext3 file system on RHEL3 with Parted 1.6.3. I need parted as part as part of a recovery procedure. Please let me know of any workarounds or fixes. m.mccune Same here.... no matter which version of parted I use, I get the same issue. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 90894 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030922 Description of problem: Attempting to resize an ext3 partition (the root partition) created at install time by Disk Druid Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): parted-1.6.3-29 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.linux rescue (mounting partitions read-only) 2.parted /dev/hda 3.print (shows partition 6 going from 34920.734 to 73244.882 4.check 6 (this is the number of the root partition and is my last partition - want to shrink it) 5.resize 6 34920.734 54082.808 (both check and resize generate the following output) Actual Results: No Implementation: This ext2 filesystem has a rather strange layout! Parted can't resize this (yet). Expected Results: Expect it to resize the partition Additional info: In reviewing some of the bug-parted mailing list, I noticed some references to problems with a new version of the e2fsprogs library being used by RHEL3 that breaks parted.
