E.g. parted allowed it and several people managed to thrash their fs. Also think about tools that call ntfsresize with the force option. And many distros today automatically mount NTFS. What would the user notice? OS crash, destroyed fs. Thanks again but I don't want to read those angry, upset emails. If it's mounted then unmount it. If mount state can't be checked then fix the root of the problem. BTW, if Raul is sure NTFS isn't mounted then _maybe_ even a 'touch /etc/mtab' helps. I also guess it's a Debian boot floppy because there are many such hits on Google. However so far quite a lot of people used some sort of Debian boot floppy sucessfully. This 'mount check failed' situation never occured before. Szaka |
