Description Christopher Hofmann 2011-11-25 12:31:47 UTC

During installation YaST refuses to resize a NTFS partition.

The detailed "error" mesage of ntfsresize says (besides some other lines):
"You might resize at 32434388992 bytes or 32435 MB (freeing 169070 MB)."

Which for me sounds more like: It would work if you only would try.

Please provide YaST logs, see http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Bugreport_YaST.

I recently bought two laptops where Win7 uses all 4 primary partitions (leaving none available for an extended partition), and this is the same error I got.  So it might be useful to post the partition table as well.  (Just my $0.02 worth.)

Since I don't have access to that device any more I cannot provide any logs any more.
