Hi,
I used resize2fs to do an online grow of from 8TB to 12TB and that worked fine.
now I'm trying to offline shrink back down to 8TB and resize2fs is
unable to do so.
Output:
resize2fs -M /dev/mapper/
crypt_left
resize2fs 1.42.5 (29-Jul-2012)
Resizing the filesystem on /dev/mapper/crypt_left to 1885633106 (4k) blocks.
resize2fs: Memory allocation failed while trying to resize
/dev/mapper/crypt_left
Please run 'e2fsck -fy /dev/mapper/crypt_left' to fix the filesystem
after the aborted resize operation.
I am using a raspberrypi so it's 32-bit and limited to 256MB and I
have 2x that in swap.

I was watching top and never saw it use more that 53% of the RAM but I
may have missed the crucial moment.

Please let me know if there is anything that would help solve this issue.
