stellarpower <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from stellarpower <[email protected]> --- Is there any chance of backporting this change? I'm using a live USB (LUbuntu 24.04, released 2025-08-05) and now am seriously concerned I've just killed a partition that was working perfectly fine just because I wanted more free space. On top of the default checking, there's no output, it's been running for two hours on a ~500G partition (from GParted or ext4 it's usually a few-minute job before resizing). The progress is 0% and I see it using one whole core and a lot of memory in htop but otherwise I have no idea what it's doing. I'm on PartitionManager 23.08.5 and from that tag, the readme says there aren't any open bugs for anything serious that could cause data loss. Admittedly the bug won't have been open at the time, but hopefully you see what I'm saying. Whilst maybe this will end up turning out fine, I'm quite concerned about severe data loss, and pretty recent distro releases (same month as the original date of this issue) evidently are shipping a version of PartitionManager that could be wiping out people's discs. I see some mention of similarish situations here and just through google where it may have been attempted through the CLI to worry it's a common enough situation. Could this issue be considered high enough of a concern to patch that one line back into older releases and try to get it through different distributions? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
