Package: ntfsprogs
Version: 1.12.1-1
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss
Tags: d-i
After a resize using Debian Installer of an NTFS partition created with
Windows Vista Beta 2, I found that the partition was no longer usable.
I have checked that this really is an issue by doing manual resizes of:
- an NTFS (1.2) partition created by installing Windows 2000
- an NTFS (3.1) partition created by installing Windows Vista Beta 2
The two are completely similar, except that the first is successful and
the second leads to corruption.
The corruption only becomes clear _after_ the physical partition is
resized too; resizing the partition back to its original size does not
get the partition back. ntfsfix does not help either.
Note that during the manual resize operation I used fdisk, but the
installer uses libparted; the corruption occurs with both.
Logs for the resize of both NTFS partitions are attached and clearly show
the problem.
I noticed that a 1.13.1 release is available, but cannot tell from the
changelog if that would fix this issue.

Successfully resized NTFS on device '/dev/sda1'.
You can go on to shrink the device for example with Linux fdisk.
IMPORTANT: When recreating the partition, make sure that you
1) create it at the same disk sector (use sector as the unit!)
2) create it with the same partition type (usually 7, HPFS/NTFS)
3) do not make it smaller than the new NTFS filesystem size
4) set the bootable flag for the partition if it existed before
Otherwise you won't be able to access NTFS or can't boot from the disk!
If you make a mistake and don't have a partition table backup then you
can recover the partition table by TestDisk or Parted's rescue mode.
