Title:
  Resize dirty NTFS silently fails

Status in “partman-partitioning” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  During a netboot installation of current dapper, I attempted to resize
  an NTFS partition which turned out to be dirty (not unmounted
  properly.)  Partman silently failed on this, and no useful messages
  appeared in the log, so far as I could tell.  I eventually discovered
  this by trying to use ntfsresize from the console which clearly
  indicated this.  After booting into Windows and cleanly shutting down,
  it proceeded correctly, though without any indication in the installer
  of any progress during the operation (the log console showed it
  however.)
