Restoring log

Description of problem:
When partition manager restores a partition it uses incorrect command to resize partition after restoring. Actually it tries to resize whole disk (/dev/sda) instead of targeted partition (/dev/sda1)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kde-partitionmanager-3.3.1-2.fc28.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to restore any partition with partitionmanager

Actual results:
Error when trying to resize partition. Partition seems ok and contains files.

Expected results:
No any errors.

Comment 2 Mattia Verga 2018-10-14 13:30:32 UTC 
I think the problem is that in the end it tries to check the whole disk instead of the partition. It only fails the check, not the restore, so it should be safe.

I'll report this upstream. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399791
Comment 3 Ben Cotton 2019-05-02 20:39:32 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life.
On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases
that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as
EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
Comment 4 Mattia Verga 2019-05-03 15:18:43 UTC 
This will soon be fixed by the upcoming kde-partitionmanager 4.0.0.

Moving to F30 for the moment.

Comment 19 Ivan Romanov 2019-05-21 03:11:59 UTC 
Problem is not solved.
Comment 20 Mattia Verga 2019-05-21 15:42:13 UTC 
(In reply to Ivan Romanov from comment #19)
> Problem is not solved.

Please tell us more and post the full log. What kind of filesystem is in the backup file? Are you restoring to an already existent partition, or to free space (and let partitionmanager create the partition)?
I cannot reproduce the problem anymore with kde-partitionmanager-4.0.0-1.fc30 / kpmcore-4.0.0-2.fc30

Comment 23 Ivan Romanov 2019-05-21 15:55:15 UTC 
I did simple actions. First backup /dev/sda2 to efi.backup file. And then restore efi.backup back to /dev/sda2.
Comment 24 Mattia Verga 2019-05-22 15:33:26 UTC 
Are you sure you have upgraded kpmcore to 4.0.0-2? Can you post the output of "rpm -q kpmcore"?

From the line
Job: Restore the file system from file ‘/home/taurus/develop/efi.backup’ to partition ‘/dev/sda’
it seems you are still using 4.0.0-1.
Comment 25 Ivan Romanov 2019-05-22 15:40:32 UTC 
$ rpm -q kpmcore
kpmcore-4.0.0-1.fc30.x86_64

I update kpmcore. Now I have such error:

Comment 26 Mattia Verga 2019-05-22 15:59:03 UTC 
Yes, this other error is expected, but it doesn't hurt anything (in fact, the job now ends with a warning, not with an error).

I'll report this warning to upstream, but I'm going to close this bug since the restore operation itself is now performed without errors.
Comment 27 Ivan Romanov 2019-05-22 16:07:34 UTC
