Windows 10 temp file clean up - Error(5) shrinkPartition - Capture fail

[duanekaeb]

@Quazz & @Sebastian-Roth, I ran a chkdsk and did a defrag/trim and I’m still getting a resize test.

@sudburr Thanks for the script. I executed it but I’m still getting the same shrinkPartitiion error.

[Sebastian Roth]

@duanekaeb Please boot up Windows on that machine and open disk management tool, take a picture of that and post here.

@Sebastian-Roth any recommendations?

[Quazz]

@duanekaeb One other thing I had to do once upon a time was run

dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

in command prompt before sysprep and capture

@duanekaeb The partition sda4 that we see in the terminal output windows doesn’t show up in windows disk management tool. Most probably because it’s a hidden partition. Still doesn’t make too much sense but to me it looks like it.

Please schedule a debug capture task (as you normally would in the web UI but just before you click create task there is a checkbox for debug mode), boot up the host and when you get to the shell run the command parted -l, take a picture and post that here.

@Quazz I ran all four of these commands I found on another post but still no go.

@Quazz I saw a post by you in another thread and took your advice. I ran all these commands and it’s capturing now:

dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
sfc /scannow
chkdsk /f

@Sebastian-Roth, here you go.

That may not be what you’re looking for. I pressed enter and the command line popped up. Parted -1 returned an error but I was able to get something when I typed in parted. This is a screen shot of the print command.

@duanekaeb Thanks for the pictures. What I posted was the command parted -l - the parameter being a lower case l (like lion). But using the print command you still got us exactly the information I was hoping to see.

Ok, so the partition layout is fine from my point of view. So now I am wondering if C: is simply almost full and that is causing the problem. Reviewing the pictures again I saw something that I have not noticed before: Needed relocations: ... (16179 MB)

While I am not an expert on the ntfs3g-lib implementation I am really wondering if this is just “too much for it”. It tries to shrink the partition and for that to be able to do it would need to relocate/move roughly 16 GB of data. While it’s not nice that it fails to do so I can kind of understand it’s having a hard time to do so.

I really wonder why defrag didn’t help you with this. Probably a bit different on the SSD, hmmmm. Not sure what else we can do for you.
