-					This is a problem of the <command>e2resize</command> command and the underlying ext2/3/4 file system. If a file system is nearly full, <command>e2resize</command> cannot make it any smaller even though that should be possible from the number of free sectors left. &partman; can unfortunately not know beforehand if <command>e2resize</command> will abort with this error for a given file system or not. If it happens nothing will be done at all and your data will not be negatively affected.

 				Operations are the most visible of the three. If you pick an action in the graphical user interface, this will likely result in a new operation being added to the list of pending operations. The idea behind that is: You will most probably want to set up quite a number of steps to transform the current state of your disk devices to the state you have in mind. Some of these steps may take quite a long time to execute (like copying a large file system or resizing a file system that is nearly full). To save you from having to sit in front of your computer for a long time waiting for one step to finish and then starting the next one, operations allow you to exactly specify how the computer's devices should look like once everything is finished, then let &partman; apply the operations and come back when it has executed all of them.

You would also like to take this opportunity to install a new operation system. Several steps will have to be taken to make the transition from the old to the new system and drive.
