[Bug 902163] [NEW] Loss of data during resizing partition ?

[Fabio Marconi]

Public bug reported:

Hello
Performing an installation of Oneiric amd64 desktop, choosing manual partitioning, I've resized /dev/sda3 containing few data, and at the end of the operation the size of the used space was reduced (look screenshot 1), I decided to try again and i reduce again this partition and the used space was reduced again (screenshot 2)

Dimensione = Dimension
Utilizzato = Used
Spazio libero = Free space

In the screenshot 1 we can see the spazio libero measuring 18768 MB, but
after reduction of /dev/sda3 it now measure 18610 MB (screenshot 2)

Thanks
Fabio
