administration mistake and how did you recover?
On ext4 resizing
- I did not put a swap partition on my laptop, just / and /home
- I decided to shrink /home to put a swap at the end
- fdisk
-- del & new smaller partition for /home, with same beginning
-- new partition at the end for swap (label 82)
- reboot
- fsck failed, resize2fs failed, all failed
- I forgot to backup during the week end
- I lost important documents...
There is a need of absolute "ext4 resizing tutorial"... :-P

RMA.
