Hi! I already entered this in the bug tracking, but it never showed on [EMAIL PROTECTED]; cant check in bug tracking system since all interesting links from <http://parted.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/report> lead to "Trac detected an internal error:"
I tried to increase an ext3 partition from 1583GB/3091307625s to nearly 2 TBytes and failed. Tried with parted version 1.7.1 (Debian stable), 1.8.7.git.2007.07.30 (Backport from Debian unstable) and 1.8.8 (compiled from last tar.bz2). The file system is pretty full (~85 %) and is hosted on a 3Ware Raid controller; all disks are reported as fully correct. Here is a transcript of my actions: #################################### [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# parted /dev/sda GNU Parted 1.8.7 Using /dev/sda Welcome to GNU Parted!
