The inode table has been zeroed in setup_new_group_blocks(). Mark it as such in ext4_group_add(). As a side note, online resize and inode zeroing are "dual". In order to obtain a filesystem with faster formating times one can do: . either format a smaller fs and then resize it, . or format the fs with lazy_itable_init --- fs/ext4/resize.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) Index: linux-2.6.28-rc4-itable_init/fs/ext4/resize.c =================================================================== --- linux-2.6.28-rc4-itable_init.orig/fs/ext4/resize.c +++ linux-2.6.28-rc4-itable_init/fs/ext4/resize.c @@ -865,7 +865,7 @@ int ext4_group_add(struct super_block *s gdp->bg_free_blocks_count = cpu_to_le16(input->free_blocks_count); gdp->bg_free_inodes_count = cpu_to_le16(EXT4_INODES_PER_GROUP(sb)); gdp->bg_checksum = ext4_group_desc_csum(sbi, input->group, gdp); - + gdp->bg_flags |= cpu_to_le16(EXT4_BG_INODE_ZEROED); /* * We can allocate memory for mb_alloc based on the new group * descriptor -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
