The fix is obvious, we need to mod the gdb count by the addr's per block. You can verify this with the following test case dd if=/dev/zero of=disk1 seek=1024 count=1 bs=100M losetup /dev/loop1 disk1 pvcreate /dev/loop1 vgcreate loopvg1 /dev/loop1 lvcreate -l 100%VG loopvg1 -n looplv1 mkfs.ext3 -J size=64 -b 1024 /dev/loopvg1/looplv1 mount /dev/loopvg1/looplv1 /mnt/loop dd if=/dev/zero of=disk2 seek=1024 count=1 bs=50M losetup /dev/loop2 disk2 pvcreate /dev/loop2 vgextend loopvg1 /dev/loop2 lvextend -l 100%VG /dev/loopvg1/looplv1 resize2fs /dev/loopvg1/looplv1 without this patch the resize2fs fails, with it the resize2fs succeeds.
