RE: Resizing ext2 and ext2

[Nikolay Enev]

Jon,

Thanks for the quick response. I tested -O none and parted did resize the fylesystem thus created. However, using tune2fs -O on a file system created with the default option did not work after the fact. Is there a bugzilla report on that ?

This is the same problem I sent mail about a while back.  (sometime
last month).  It seems to be related to sparse superblock layout.  I
found that if you do
mke2fs -O none, parted will work fine.  It doesn't seem to be
RHEL-specific.  If you do mke2fs -O sparse_super and have a large
enough partition (say several GB) on any recent Linux, it'll fail
with the same message.

I never got a reply to my initial mail though, and I don't know
enough filesystem-fu to attempt to submit a patch.
