I've done some extensive testing repeatedly resizing (both down and up) an NTFS Vista partition, and the patch works well. Vista boots correctly after the resize operations. It turns out that a minor additional patch in partman-partitioning is necessary (a short sleep to allow the system to settle before running the final 'ntfsresize -f' command). I would still very much like to hear the rationale behind the patch and especially an analysis of how/why it will (not) affect resizing other filesystems. This will help to decide how much additional testing is needed. I have not yet tested with other filesystems, but will try to do so tomorrow. Cheers, FJP
