I just don't understand what's the point to allow it. Who understands how things work would never do it, who don't they might try. At present one of the biggest "ntfsresize" problems is how DiskDrake integrated with ntfsresize. There are cases when ntfsresize refuses to do any modifications. DiskDrake ignores this and just does a repartitioning. No any kind of ntfs resizing, just repartitioning. In these cases it warns "all your data will be lost" but many people ignores this because they were told ntfs resizing is non-destructive and they believe it. True, for the majority of people but if ntfsresize isn't called sure it is destructive as all these people have learnt later on. Szaka |
