Thanks for the report! This may well be a bug that's being triggered by the fact that you are resizing to a size that is larger than 2^31 or 2^32 512-byte sectors. It may also be that something about your set-up has triggered a bug in Parted's (decaying) ext2 file-system resizing code. I suggest that you use parted to set the desired partition sizes and then use mkfs.ext2 (from the e2fsprogs package) to create the file systems. _______________________________________________ bug-parted mailing list bug-parted@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-parted
