What is the current expected status of resize2fs support with 64-bit filesystems? Specifically, expanding from <16TB to >16TB. I'm using the latest code from pu, and seeing some odd things. I'm not sure what the 64bit feature flag does exactly, but is the transition not handled properly?
This isn't supposed to work at all, and in fact should be disabled. Firstly, the group descriptors are not big enough to hold the 64-bit block addresses unless the filesystem was originally formatted > 16TB. Secondly, the resize code has not been made 64-bit clean.
So... what is expected to work at this point, and what is expected to be broken with the resize process? Any idea why my fs was shrunk down to 2.2TB when it was supposed to grow to 18TB?
The filesystem size was truncated to a 32-bit value.
