https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13549 --- Comment #12 from Eric Sandeen <sandeen@xxxxxxxxxx> 2010-03-22 21:51:35 --- I'm afraid I've not been able to reproduce it: create a sparse loopback filesystem: [root@inode test]# touch fsfile [root@inode test]# truncate --size 1020054732800 fsfile [root@inode test]# ls -lh fsfile -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 950G Mar 22 16:28 fsfile [root@inode test]# mkfs.ext4 fsfile mke2fs 1.41.10 (10-Feb-2009) <at this point I checked that the filesystem size and features are similar to your fs> [root@inode test]# ls -lh fsfile -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 950G Mar 22 16:28 fsfile Grow the container by about 50G: [root@inode test]# truncate --size 1099511627776 fsfile [root@inode test]# ls -lh fsfile -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1.0T Mar 22 16:32 fsfile Resize while mounted: [root@inode test]# mount -o loop fsfile mnt/ [root@inode test]# resize2fs /dev/loop0 resize2fs 1.41.10 (10-Feb-2009) Filesystem at /dev/loop0 is mounted on /mnt/test/mnt; on-line resizing required old desc_blocks = 60, new_desc_blocks = 64 Performing an on-line resize of /dev/loop0 to 268435456 (4k) blocks. The filesystem on /dev/loop0 is now 268435456 blocks long. No oops ... so I'm not sure what is going on here. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- 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
