@terdon I guess. I've never resized an EXT4 partition before. I've only ever resized an NTFS partition.

@AndroidDev Same idea. The partition is one thing and its file system is another. If you resize a partition with an existing file system, you'll have to resize the latter as well.

Android Dev

@terdon Hmm. How does Windows get around that? I can boot a Windows VM and resize it's C:\ drive in under two minutes.

@terdon Wait a minute. I just thought of something.

terdon

@AndroidDev Because, apparently, it is so much cooler. I don't know man, I have no idea how Windows does stuff.

Videonauth

@ThomasW. While i can understand the context of that word , can we still agree to count that into the row of unspeakable N words? :)

Android Dev

@terdon I just thought of something. EXT4 puts space between files, no? So that if/when they expand they don't become fragmented? NTFS doesn't. Maybe with NTFS it just cuts the end off, but with EXT4 it has to move files around so that the space isn't occupied.

terdon

3:06 PM

@AndroidDev I really don't know. I don't know much about filesystems.

Videonauth

@terdon yes i know, maybe its just me as a german who is simply oversensitive to this word

yes :)

terdon

It makes sense, I guess. Nazi is an academic term to people who grew up in the US. It describes something that happened long ago and far away and not the people who raped and killed their grand parents.

Videonauth

well my grandpa was a soldier and just had to fear for his life himself following orders

so many people count me as a descendant into the offender row

@Videonauth I rolled it back because I preferred first and second. I then changed it to next and previous. First and previous seemed weird.
