Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gparted
Running from a live cd image of ubuntu 9.04 through virtual box.
When trying to shrink a partition (on a virtual box HDD) I got a message saying
the e2fsck should be run on the affected partition. It was run and finished
without errors:
check file system on /dev/sda5 for errors and (if possible) fix them
00:04:02 ( SUCCESS )
e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sda5
....
shrink file system 00:00:01 ( ERROR )
resize2fs /dev/sda5 15791863K
resize2fs 1.41.4 (27-Jan-2009)
Please run 'e2fsck -f /dev/sda5' first.
(full output attached)
Manually running e2fsck followed by resize2fs ends in the same result.
Performing the operation on another partition (/dev/sda6) also fails.
Note: resizing partitions inside a virtual box disk (VDI) using a
gparted from a livecd is the recommended way
(http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=29276#29276).
