Before we go whole-hog on 64-bit e2fsprogs, I wonder if this is worth considering as a last-minute addition to the 1.41 stream. Currently, mke2fs will shave a block off an exactly-16T device to fit*, but resize2fs does not do the same, leading to some asymmetry. This patch fixes that up, and allows 16T devices to be handled more gracefully in offline resize. (in fact resize2fs will not even open a 16T device, today). *commit 37d17a65ecb4615546b417038190a41bafca7c51 Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Index: e2fsprogs-1.41.12/resize/main.c =================================================================== --- e2fsprogs-1.41.12.orig/resize/main.c +++ e2fsprogs-1.41.12/resize/main.c @@ -159,7 +159,7 @@ int main (int argc, char ** argv) int print_min_size = 0; int fd, ret; blk_t new_size = 0; - blk_t max_size = 0; + blk64_t max_size = 0; blk_t min_size = 0; io_manager io_ptr; char *new_size_str = 0; @@ -375,7 +375,7 @@ int main (int argc, char ** argv) * defaults and for making sure the new filesystem doesn't * exceed the partition size. */ - retval = ext2fs_get_device_size(device_name, fs->blocksize, + retval = ext2fs_get_device_size2(device_name, fs->blocksize, &max_size); if (retval) { com_err(program_name, retval, @@ -393,6 +393,14 @@ int main (int argc, char ** argv) exit(1); } } else { + /* Take down devices exactly 16T to 2^32-1 blocks */ + if (max_size == (1ULL << 32)) + max_size--; + else if (max_size > (1ULL << 32)) { + com_err(program_name, 0, _("New size too large to be " + "expressed in 32 bits\n")); + exit(1); + } new_size = max_size; /* Round down to an even multiple of a pagesize */ if (sys_page_size > fs->blocksize) @@ -432,7 +441,7 @@ int main (int argc, char ** argv) } if (!force && (new_size > max_size)) { fprintf(stderr, _("The containing partition (or device)" - " is only %u (%dk) blocks.\nYou requested a new size" + " is only %llu (%dk) blocks.\nYou requested a new size" " of %u blocks.\n\n"), max_size, fs->blocksize / 1024, new_size); exit(1); -- 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
