Issues & Assistance

I have RebornOS installed and just went into the 251103 Dr460nized-gaming live to shrink my partition and install Dr460nized-gaming and got the below for the first time ever shrink a partition. I’m not seeing any issues in RebornOS, it’s running great.

Hello. You might find better success debugging this with the gparted developers. I do not believe Garuda Linux is at fault for your issue.

I wasn’t suggesting Garuda was at fault, just thought someone here might have an idea what may be going on. That said I doubt it’s a GParted issue, but rather a issue with the partition or drive. Since I’m not hard on my drives I’d be willing to bet it’s a partition issue. Now you made me think to try KDE Partition Manager and see if the same thing happens since as far as I know the only difference between the two programs are their GUI and a couple of settings.
