Subject: Die, die, die.
I have a lot of things that I could hate on at the moment, but I think
I'm going to just pick on one particular thing. Which ironically is,
like, the *one* thing that's relatively working. (At least I can fix
it when I'm the problem.)
resizer_reiserfs: the new size value is wrong.
Really? Why is that? What have I done wrong? How could I fix it?
What would an example be of a not-wrong size value? Can I just tell
you how much I appreciate how helpful and specific that error is? I
mean, I was too stupid to figure out that it was "wrong" since IT
DIDN'T WORK and all.
Incidentally, the problem was that I had made a typo: I typed "GB"
instead of merely "G." So, owning up to the PEBKAC, that's still a
fucking stupid error message.
hatefully,
--s.

If it at least said "malformed input" somewhere in there, you could at least guess what the problem might be. As it is, I wouldn't have the first clue as to why the stupid thing is unhappy. As if ReiserFS needed any more reasons to be hateful than just being itself, anyway... Regards,
