Resizing a file system mounted read-only fails. Example: # mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdb1 # mount -o ro /dev/sdb1 /mnt/1 In GParted try to resize partition sdb1. The operation fails like this: Grow /dev/sdb1 from 512.00 MiB to 1.00 GiB (ERROR) * calibrate /dev/sdb1 (SUCCESS) * grow partition from 512.00 MiB to 1.00 GiB (SUCCESS) * grow filesystem to fill the partition (ERROR) * btrfs filesystem resize 1:max '/mnt/1' (ERROR) Resize '/mnt/1' of '1:max' ERROR: unable to resize '/mnt/1': Read-only file system See GitLab issue for the testing results of attempting to online resize all supporting file system while mounted read-only. No file system allows online resizing while mounted read-only, except for reiserfs. Issue #10 - Gparted fails to resize btrfs partition that is mounted read-only #10 Fix by preventing online resizing of *all* file systems mounted read-only, including reiserfs. Instead of displaying the resize dialog in this case, display an information dialog explaining why the partition can't be resized. This is similar to what happens when attempting to create a new partition on a disk without a partition table. The new dialog looks like: (!) Unable to resize read-only file system /dev/sdb1 The file system can not be resized while it is mounted read-only. Either unmount the file system or remount it read-write. [ OK ] Closes #10 - Gparted fails to resize btrfs partition that is mounted read-only
