GParted News Item 99

Unfortunately it appears that partition resizing problems continue with GParted Live versions 0.4.8-1 through 0.5.0-3.

In the case of the NTFS file system, The error message seen after the partition is resized is:

      ERROR: Current NTFS volume size is bigger than the device size!

The problem appears to be related to the combination of packages, Linux kernel, and patches used in the GParted Live image. We are investigating to find the root cause of the problem.

Until this problem is solved we recommend GParted Live 0.4.6-1 for resizing all file systems.

The bug report to track this problem is bug #604298.

The forum post "WARNING! Problem Resizing File Systems with GParted" contains a list of the confirmed cases of this problem.
