[opensuse-factory] Call for testers: ntfsprogs
Hi, we just have prepared a ntfsprogs package which supports resizing of NTFS partitions for Vista. This is rather new and untested and we therefore need some testers to test: * resizing of normal ntfs partitions * resizing of Vista ntfs partitions For those of you that have a backup handy, please do some testings and report back whether everything works and windows can still use the partition afterwards. If it fails, please open a blocker bug and assign to me. IF you tested, please reply here so that I know whether it was tested at all. I'm considering adding this for 10.2 - but need testers. We'll do some testing internally tomorrow as well but the more testers, the better... The rpms are available from: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/ntfsprogs Thanks for your tests - and thanks to Carl-Daniel for preparing the package and to the ntfs team for developing this, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

It works sofar, that the partition can not be accessed from SuSE: But i have to reboot into windows, and back to suse again.
Kan geen toegang krijgen tot file:///windows/D/. U hebt niet de nodige toegangsrechten voor deze locatie.
This partiton is now locked, and does not show in my computer. At this time nothing is possible to get acces to this partition.
I have just booted into windows, and the partition is not accessable from there either. Offcourse the change was noticed, a disccheck was done.

AFAIK the problem was that vista did not boot after shrinking. So it does not make much sense to test this without a running Vista installation. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Btw. Would be nice to have a mini-iso with the new ntfsprogs version.

I'm uploading to my directory now the i386 CD1 of RC3 - that way you can test the shrinking - but it means you have to abort the installation after installing packages from CD1. This should help you to test it...
