GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 532733
Should recommend 'e2fsck -cc' operation when resize2fs fails
Last modified: 2020-11-13 10:40:33 UTC
When resize2fs fails with this error: "Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to resize", gparted gives no clue about the problem, giving the advice of reporting the save_details.htm file to the devs. Expected results: Should, at least, recommend a 'e2fsck -cc' operation (which solved my issue). Ideally, gparted should tell the user something like 'The resize operation could not be completed due most likely to bad sectors in the disk. You should run a Full Verification operation before retrying', and then have a new 'Full verification' option on the contexual menu of a partition, that warns the user about starting an very long operation that checks all partition sectors but is non-destructive.
