Could you look into /var/log/messages if there are kernel error messages at the time you did the resize.
I don't see any message even related to the fact I was resizing partition.
I did that numerous times and it always worked flawlessly.
However we both know, there is a difference between such operations: a) resize on unmounted partition b) resize on mounted partition while copying 2TB of data It is 100% in reach of system, to detect if the partition is mounted or not, and ask for sure. Please note that programs ask if user is really sure to quit them (Eclipse for example), and I think resizing partition is way more important task. It is common sense even in terms of speed -- it is faster, to quit normally programs, unmount the partition, resize, and run them back, then struggle with all activities going on -- here multitasking does more harm than good. Another thing is, to this date IMHO there underlying problems with scheduling heavy I/O traffic, my current situation is better now, not because kernel is so mature, but because I have maxed out available memory. But as this case shows, when you have (my guess) 2 heavy I/O tasks running and you are doing partitioning computer eventually freezes. -- 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.
