Bug ID: 420716
Summary: KDE Partitioner crashes should not stop the operation
in the middle
Product: partitionmanager
Version: 3.3
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: andr...@stikonas.eu
Reporter: david.cortes.riv...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If I try to resize partitions - e.g.
****ntfs****|****ext4****
to
**ntfs**|*****ext4*******
using KDE partition manager, it might crash with some unspecified error, AND
crash the underlying partitioner process along with it in the middle of an
operation, leaving the partition unusable, and without leaving any trace of
what went wrong or any resume point.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to resize some contiguous partitions.
OBSERVED RESULT
Crashes in the middle of an operation (segmentation fault), leaves the
partition unusable, around 1/3 of the data unrecoverable, and in a state in
which calling "mount" on that partition would produce a segfault - i.e. the
worst possible thing it could do.
EXPECTED RESULT
Should not crash, and if it does, crashing the QT application should NEVER BY
ANY MEANS crash the underlying partitioner process. If it crashes, it should
have some operation resume method that would allow to leave the disk in an
integral state.
