Hi,
Please note that the patch as it is has a very awkward side effect: Every
time you run ntfsresize and either you answer "no" to the "really proceed"
question or ntfsresize aborts without doing anything because it hits a
"this is not supported" case or you try to resize to a too small size or
anything like that the volume is left dirty thus running ntfsresize again
then fails. This is because ntfsresize does not unmount the volume. My
complete patches up to CVS head cause the unmounting to happen but only
until all the checks have passed and ntfsresize is about to start
migrating clusters around. At that point, before the first modification
happens, I turn off the unmounting and from then on ntfsresize will run
and independent of when it is going to stop (abort or complete), it will
no longer unmount like Szaka wants it to be. Then the volume is left
dirty which is what you want to happen anyway.
Best regards,
Anton
