I'd be OK with the "correctly attempted" wording, except it suggests if there's a bug outside the installer that causes a problem, we can't block on it (unless it's corruption in which case we can either block or document). We say "correctly attempted" for NTFS because Fedora has no control over Tuxera, the maintainers of ntfsprogs. But we have ext3/4 knowledgable developers so it seems reasonable we should be able to do better than merely correctly attempt. And for OS X, resize isn't applicable. It can only be done in OS X. The most generic wording is probably "best effort / correctly attempted" in each case then, which is then understood to mean none for OS X, contingent on no known corruption with NTFS & ntfsprogs, and really ought to just work ext3/4 and Btrfs. -- Chris Murphy -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
