Package: qtparted Version: 0.4.5-2 Severity: normal I am trying to use qtparted to move a partition on an USB key.
This is qtparted 0.4.5-2 from Debian GNU/Linux "lenny" (testing) I start qtparted by typing "qtparted" as root in a xterm and qtparted starts up properly. It says "qtparted v0.4.5--cvs" in the title bar of its window. It sees my three devices: /dev/hda, /dev/sda, /dev/sdb I'd like to move a partition on /dev/sdb which is an USB key. When I click /dev/sdb in qtparted, I get the following message in my xterm: Error: The file system is bigger than its volume! qtparted then shows a little window called "Progress" (take a look at the screenshot attached) That little window displays a progress bar. The progress bar goes very fast from 0% to 100% (between one and two seconds). Then qtparted freezes. Here's what qtparted says in the Progress window when it is frozen: Current operation: Scanning all disk partitions. Time Left: Progress: 100% There is a OK button in the window, but it is greyed. I tried clicking on it but nothing happens. To get rid of the frozen qtparted, I have to type "kill PID" where PID is qtparted's process id. Normal kill though, not kill -9. Here is the partition table on the USB key: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /mnt/data/debian-live-images>fdisk -l /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 2013 MB, 2013265920 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 244 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000ef48e Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 101 811251 83 Linux This USB key is actually a bootable Debian system generated by Debian Live. The live-helper created the binary.img for me, then I just did: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /mnt/data/debian-live-images>dd if=binary.img of=/dev/sdb Note that everything on the key was created by Debian Live: the MBR, the partition table, and the first partition -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages qtparted depends on: ii gksu 2.0.0-5 graphical frontend to su ii kdebase-bin 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 core binaries for the KDE base mod ii libc6 2.7-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3-20080202-1 GCC support library ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libparted1.7-1 1.7.1-5.1 The GNU Parted disk partitioning s ii libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-3 PNG library - runtime ii libqt3-mt 3:3.3.7-9 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1+b1 X11 Session Management library ii libstdc++6 4.3-20080202-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libuuid1 1.40.6-1 universally unique id library ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-11 compression library - runtime Versions of packages qtparted recommends: ii e2fsprogs 1.40.6-1 ext2 file system utilities and lib ii jfsutils 1.1.11-1 utilities for managing the JFS fil ii ntfsprogs 2.0.0-1 tools for doing neat things in NTF ii parted 1.7.1-5.1 The GNU Parted disk partition resi ii xfsprogs 2.9.5-1 Utilities for managing the XFS fil -- no debconf information ... well, this is annoying.
