What were you trying to do?
Resize NTFS from within the installer. (installer version 5a)
What's wrong:
After "Calculating NTFS parameters", I see:
(standard_in) 1: parse error
(standard_in) 1: parse error
/dev/sda2 current NTFS size: 41043 MB
/dev/sda2 requested NTFS size: 19492 MB
/dev/sda2 requested NTFS shrinkage: 21550 MB
/dev/sda2 min possible NTFS size: MB
/dev/sda2 possible NTFS shrinkage: MB
In addition to the null values above, I see, after the note about
rounding errors:
./phase2.backend: [: !=: unary operator expected
Note that it still appears to work and resize the partition, but
there's a bug somewhere.
What should have happened:
It shouldn't have displayed null values or complained about
the test operator.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Running ntfsresize -i by hand indicates that it displays "The
volume end is fragmented, this case is not yet supported",
which is perhaps confusing the installer.
