However when doing so it does not inform what exactly will be done (*), and what is way worse it does not check if selected LV is mounted!!! (*) not only it resizes LV but also underlying file system So as the result, today my computer was frozen because of clash -- it appeared I had running program using LV and partitioner resizing the same LV at the same time. I had to reboot computer, and then my problems begun -- because mounted didn't detect valid file system, and e2fsck refused to correct anything because: e2fsck: "unable to set superblock flags on" So basically I was stuck. Just by pure luck running vgscan and vgdisplay somehow made e2fsck to run anyway, after that I repeated all the steps, this time manually (from console, without using Yast at all). However, the the result of this bug is a lot of wasted time, and loss of some data (so far I didn't figure out which files were corrupted in the process). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
