Thanks for your report.

Yes, that was not being handled very gracefully, although the output from 
ntfsresize can be checked in the syslog.
I've improved the error checking a bit and those changes will be available 
in daily images within the next few days. The user should now at least 
get a red screen with a message that resizing is not possible and will be 
pointed to the syslog.

There should also be a better distinction between different causes of 
errors. Error checking for resize operations in general could be improved 
a lot; for many operations it is currently just assumed they will 
succeed.

Cheers,
FJP
