(parted) No Implementation: This ext2 filesystem has a rather strange layout

[Joachim Jäckel]

Hi,

i hope i can help you with following report:

following message occurs for /dev/hda7 and /dev/hda9.

(parted) No Implementation: This ext2 filesystem has a rather strange
layout!  Please use
dumpe2fs on this filesystem and send it to <address@hidden>. I won't resize
it,
sorry.

Version: GNU Parted 1.4.14

Disk has been created with powerquest drive image, partitions 8 and 9 have
been moved with powerquest partition magic. fdisk and sfdisk from redhat 6.2
have been used.

Partition magic cannot move or resize partition 7 (error 508: nothing to
do).

Windows 2000 on partion 1 and 5 does not boot anymore, since all partitions
have been copied from a smaller disk.

Linux is working without problems.

parted shows following warning:
Warning: The operating system thinks the geometry on /dev/hda is
4999/255/63.
Therefore, cylinder 1024 ends at 8032.499M.  You should check that this
matches
the BIOS geometry before using this program.

BIOS does automatically see these values.
