Hey, just wanted to shrink my partition using cfdisk in Arch live iso because it was locked and unable to shrink in kde partition manager, so I did this:
And now I get this while booting:
yeah, that also happened to me while using the same tool
i usually use a livecd with gparted now.
you probably will have to reinstall as it most likely corrupted the OS.
I don’t have to reinstall and nothing has been corrupted, I just resized the partition again right now and restored the free 256GB and everything works like before.
How did you shrink your partition after that happened and reinstalled Endeavour?
It was locked in KDE partition manager because presumably you were running that from your live system, which would mean the partition was mounted and active and it was trying to save you from yourself 
As the other poster recommended, booting from a livecd that includes a tool like gparted (like the original EOS installer) would be a better idea.

Yea even partitioning tools warn me when I try to resize a mounted partition, Glad I didn’t forced it.
That’s a good idea too, Endeavour live iso has tools with UI too for partitioning, thanks for help.
