#182 Choose option -K1 (partition...) grow my Swap partition

[Fabien Voland]

Hello,

Today, I made an installation of Linux Mint on a HD 40 GB.

My partitions are composed as follows:

sda1 8 GB Swap
sda2 32 GB / ext4

I wanted to choose the option -K1 because I restored a 500 GB HD.

Unfortunately, the proportional change the partition size does not work well because I found myself with a swap 100 GB.

Normally, the creation of a table of proportional partition is the last partition expand to a larger HD. right?

For example, I made a backup of Win 7 system with 100 MB (system partition) and everything else partition. During the restoration, I
choose the option -K1 and then resize the last partition and has not touched the first partition Win 7 system of 100 MB.

A bug with the swap ?

Thank you in advance for your support.

I tried blacklisting the mei module and that didnt work but I disabled the IMEI in the bios and I don't get the errors anymore.

So you meant after you disabled the IMEI, everything works?

I am getting the same errors over and over
mei_me 0000:00:03.0: reset: connect/disconnect timeout

It is related to the Intel Management Engine Interface. I would rather not disable this in BIOS. Does the newest release (with the newest kernel) fix this?

Here is another thread that talks about this problem

"Does the newest release (with the newest kernel) fix this?" -> Maybe. Did you give that a try? E.g. Clonezilla live 2.2.2-18 or 20140303-*?
