[Bug 57959] Live-Cd: Resizing of NTFS-partition fails when not dismounted cleanly before - error-message missing

[Bernhard Kogler]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gparted

Error:

If the gparted-version on the live-cd is used to resize an ntfs-
partition which was not unmounted cleanly before (e.g. power-loss from
within a windows-session), the partition doesn't get resized.

Unfortunately no error-message is shown, when gparted calls ntfsresize
several times, and so the user thinks, all of the resizing-process
worked fine.

things to reproduce:

* partition /dev/hda1 - ntfs-partition, windows system volume
* start windows on /dev/hda1, let it crash (e.g. power loss)
* boot with the live-cd of dapper and resize the partition /dev/hda1 from within gparted
* all seems to work fine, but nothing happens to the partition, because ntfsresize reports an error due to the missing clean unmount which gparted doesn't recognize.

Perhaps a newer version of gparted helps out, the version 0.1 included
on the live-cd is already 1,5 years old.

** Affects: gparted (Ubuntu)
