Bug 287301 – Would be nice if ntfs resize was possible with minimal install cds

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Release Media

[Description Benjamin Bannier 2009-10-02 03:55:45 UTC]

Hi,

it would be nice if the minimal install cds would include ntfsresize and the needed kernel modules.

I guess having a windows partition present and setting up gentoo in newly to create partitions is a standard scenario, at least for x86 and amd64. We already include parted, just the backend is missing.

Of course one can always use a different live cd to prep a stage3 install, but waiting for U****u to get its bling ready took some of the joy away for me.

Can't parted resize NTFS?

[Comment 2 Benjamin Bannier 2009-10-02 13:41:34 UTC]

Hi,

it somehow didn't work. I also could not mount the partition. But maybe something was broken on the system, or I did something wrong.

Since I cannot reproduce this for now, feel free to close this if you think this works already.

I this this is better suited to the administration cd.

At least gparted relies on ntfsresize and not parted for that if I remember correctly :-/

I'm closing this bug as sys-fs/ntfs3g is part of the admin-cd.

Thanks but, where is that admin CD? I would like to download it for using when needed :)

Thanks for the info!
