Last week I learned a lesson the hard way on using partition managers like GParted.

Double-check the disk you're partitioning before applying any operations, and don't partition a disk when you're tired.

about 15 years ago I downed the email system of a huge company for 2 days with that. 😂

resize process took 2 days instead of the my estimated 50 minutes.

I hope that company kept good backups. I was fortunate that what little I had on the machine in question wasn't lost, save for one encrypted NANO seed that must've been overwritten.

no data loss luckily.

Wasn't much of a loss, 0.3 NANO. Seeing as this was a RAID 0 setup, and a motherboard one at that, I expected the prognosis to be poor, but TestDisk on a Windows 10 USB stick saved me.
