What does the error message "sda access beyond end of device virtualsda access beyond end of device" in a virtualboxbox system?

cn flag

Today I tried to turn off one of my VirtualBox system and I got that error over and over again for a few minutes. Then I just forced a shutdown.

I remember that I resized that partition from 50G to 100G. It looks like the resize2fs did run properly. What I'm wondering is how can I test that the partition size is correct? There is no LVM. I have just one partition (/dev/sda2), although there is a something grub uses in /dev/sda1.

I was able to successfully shutdown after that kill because I wanted to test with fsck. But that gives me nothing. It says everything is fine. I also checked with GParted and again that everything looks just fine...

The file system is ext4.

The following is the output of the GParted Check command:

Any idea why the error occurred and whether my data is at risk?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
