#185 Batch mode interrupted by ntfsresize when restoring disk

When running a restoredisk operation in batch mode, and the filesystem needs to be expanded by ntfsresize, instead of proceeding automatically it prompts for a user confirmation : "WARNING: Every sanity check passed and only the dangerous operations left. Make sure that important data has been backed up! Power outage or computer crash may result major data loss!"

The solution is to modify sbin/ocs-resize-part to pass two "-f" switches to ntfsresize instead of one, so that the command becomes "ntfsresize -f -f /dev/sda1"

    Thanks.
    However, on which situation will you see "WARNING: Every sanity check passed and only the dangerous operations left. Make sure that important data has been backed up! Power outage or computer crash may result major data loss!"?
    Why I have never see that here... Is that because your file system is not unmounted cleanly?
    Or?

    Steven.

    Fixed in clonezilla package version 3.5.15-drbl1. Will be used in the next Clonezilla live testing release.

    Steven.
