After having used ntfsclone on a SATA HDD & writen a
presentation in French
on ntfsprogs, I tried to use ntfsresize on my Dell Latittude
L400 laptop, but
it says it can't.

# ntfsresize -n -i /dev/hda1
----------------------------
ntfsresize v1.12.1 (libntfs 8:1:0)
Device name        : /dev/hda1
NTFS volume version: 3.1
Cluster size       : 4096 bytes
Current volume size: 10635248128 bytes (10636 MB)
Current device size: 10635254784 bytes (10636 MB)
Checking filesystem consistency ...
Accounting clusters ...
...
Space in use       : 3039 MB (28.6%)
Collecting resizing constraints ...
You might resize at 10632957952 bytes or 10633 MB (freeing 3
MB).
Please make a test run using both the -n and -s options
before real resizing

I now there's some MFT stuff well after what is actually
used on that NTFS partition
: I've tried O&ODefrag Pro to see if it can do
something, but it didn't.

ntfscluster -c [some range between 10000000 & the end at
~20772030) /dev/hda1
----------------------------
says something like :
...
^[[0m^[[31mInode: 13140
...
with a few errors (~3 for each 500000 clusters tested)

Please, does somebody knows if there anything I can do to
resize this f***ing
windowz partition that takes 50% of the HDD ?

ps forgot my sourceforge passwd again :(
