From 67cdc9c732090a47f7f0345d43614c8b4a527f53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hu Tao Date: Mon, 8 Dec 2014 11:20:54 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] resize: fix 'No space left on device' problem when copying to an extended partition (RHBZ#1169015) Because of the size of an extended partition reported by Linux is always 1024 bytes, so it will always fail to copy to an extended partition. This patch fixes this problem by copying to the offset of an extended partition in the destination disk.
