Bug ID: 420803
Summary: partitionmanager breaks ext4 partition
Product: partitionmanager
Version: 3.3
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: andr...@stikonas.eu
Reporter: leonardosilvateod...@hotmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I used kde partitionmanager today to resize my root ext4 partition on opensuse
tw and It gave me an error saying something was wrong with superblocks, I
thought It was fine, left the software and went back to my root (I was on
opensuse tw kde liveusb) and It dropped me on a emergency shell.
I went back to opensuse tw kde liveusb and figured out that It shrunk the
partition (the same process cfdisk does) instead of check the filesystem
firstly (with e2fsck), actually resizing (with resize2fs) and then use cfdisk
to finalize.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open partitionmanager
2. select the partition you want to shrink
3. right click it and select "resize/move"
4. put a value on "free space after", apply
