[Bug 789977] [NEW] Failed to reduce size of NTFS partition

[Anton Eliasson]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gparted

Tried to reduce the size of an NTFS partition from ~230 to ~220 GB on a
USB-connected HDD.

ntfsresize -P --force /dev/sdh1 -s 234552052223 --no-action says:
[snip]
Relocating needed data ...
ERROR: Extended record needed (1032 > 1024), not yet supported!
Please try to free less space.

I just ran chkdsk /f on it in Windows 7 so it wouldn't surprise me if it messed up the filesystem somehow. Full Gparted-log here:
