Amir > create the initial a.img 4G and specify 1G to mkfs. > so the loop device size is 4G and you can online resize the fs to 4G. I think this time I have been able to achieve what I was trying to. After resize, there are 1048576 blocks, as expected. After truncating to 1G, dumpe2fs gives error, but I guess this is also expected behaviour. But after extending to 4G, e2fsck makes some complain. I guess this is not expected behaviour, is it? However, now df shows 4G as the fs size, which is as expected.
