Is filesystem ext4 and mounted? If yes then it's not a bug. ext4 does not support online shrinking. You need to unmount. Changed status to waiting for info Yes, it is ext4 and mounted. Thanks for the info, I did not know that ext4 can only be expanded, but not shrunk when mounted. Closing then as not a bug. (Still maybe as a feature request, some kind of hint for this special case where the "change size / move" window simply cannot do anything because the drive is already expanded to all available space might be nice.) Hmm, the easiest place to add a small hint would be in file system support dialog. In other places, it's a bit trickier... I had hoped that it could be included in the "change size / move" dialog when this happens, but can understand that it might be harder to implement. Just compared with gparted and they also just show nothing there when this happens. |
