[Bug 324166] [NEW] ntfsresize doesn't back up the boot sector

Binary package hint: ntfsprogs

Hello,

I just resized an NTFS partition using gparted, and then by mistake overwritten its boot sector with something else.
NTFS partitions should end with a copy of the boot sector (first 512 bytes). However, I didn't find the backup there.
It caused me quite a lot of trouble. At the end I used the original backup, which was found where the original file system ended.

To summarize: ntfsresize should copy the boot sector to the end of the
file system after it resizes it.

I'm using Ubuntu 8.10, the version of ntfsprogs is 2.0.0-1ubuntu2.

Thanks,
Noam
