Today I Learned:
That the included program ‘ntfsfix’ can be used to clear the record of bad sectors on a Windows partition.
I had cloned a Windows system from a bad hard drive that had some bad sectors. The file system log that noted those bad sectors came over in the clone, even though the drive I cloned it to is fine and has no bad sectors.
Found the problem when I was trying to use gparted to shrink the partition.
sudo ntfsfix -bd /dev/sda4After running that, gparted let me shrink the partition. After that, I’ll be making a few more adjustments and then cloning to a much faster nvme SSD.

Una tarde de viernes, mientras tomaba una taza de café, ya relajado, luego de una jornada en campo intensa (para variar). Casi me da un paro cardiaco, al percatarme que el espacio disponible en root, para actualizar mi laptop con Archlinux, me quedaba corto, muy a pesar de borrar cache. 😱No me quedo de otra que redimensionar la partición, si no quería terminar reinstalando o borrando programas. Los 20 Gb que le asigne, se quedaron cortos.

Para evitar posibles problemas con perdida de datos, un backup a un medio externo (Disco/Pendrive, NAS o Cloud) o lo que tengas a mano, siempre viene bien.

Tools of the trade: gparted
I frequently use gparted, on a live boot of Linux, to resize and move partitions on a Windows computer. Usually this is when shrinking a large capacity hard drive to be cloned to a smaller capacity SSD and then readjusting after the clone.
It is important to run chkdsk from Windows after a partition resize, otherwise cloning will fail. I usually run chkdsk twice, just to be sure.

#Ventoy ist eigentlich die Sache, um #linux Live zu starten. Ich hab da ein gutes Dutzend Distris drauf. Von #clonezille, #systemrescue, #gparted und so paar Desktop Systeme wie #linuxmint #endeavouros oder #mxlinux für verschiedene Zwecke.
Heute bin ich über https://distrosea.com #distrosea gestolpert. Ok, die eigene Hardware kann man nicht testen und das Netzwerk ist auch deaktiviert.
Aber man kann im Browser so einiges ansehen und probieren - ohne das System neu zu starten. 👍 cool! -

It appears resizing partitions with #GParted from a live-USB was indeed very easy. Everything turned out great, only apparently it remembered every step of mine, so everything moved twice. Nevertheless, I have more space to squeeze in stuffs now.

I lost about a year in personal recordings, owing to a bad M.2 SSD backup drive with no secondary backup. 😮💨 So I'm on a rampage of backups. I've made a rather startling discovery - that on an SD card of mine, #BTRFS can save data about twice as fast as EXT4, on the same drive (Sandisk Ultra)! This is with a somewhat recent #Linux kernel of 6.12.75, on a #RaspberryPi 5. 🤷 I'm accustomed to EXT4 being the clearly faster one (and has no scrubbing, or snapshotting functionality, BTW).
Pictured: #gparted copies a partition's data at a decent 40MB/sec; decent when the target drive is a MicroSD card! The write speed ("Current DISK WRITE") is shown by iotop in a terminal in the background.

@bekopharm Using #gparted live-cd I have successfully resized the boot partition on other machines by shrinking and moving the other ones. But I’ll keep this test VM with this /boot size, just for the fun of it 😜

#linux question
I have removable #usb drives. When I plugged them in originally, #xfce showed them on the desktop using names like "Cool Drives Inc"
It was formatted ntfs. I deleted the partition and made a new one *with a label*. I also formatted to ext4.
xfce now shows them as "2.0 TB Volume".
Where was it getting that old label/name and why doesn't it read my new label/name?
WHAT TEXT DO I HAVE TO EDIT TO MAKE THIS WORK HOW I WANT
It *has* to be something accessible to #gparted, since that's how I obliterated the old text.
I shouldn't need compute this on the fly with udev or whatever.
