Here's a better way to fix this. Thanks for pointing out this problem! - Ted >From cecfb4c04227dd5803c24b311d92a80e91b7b380 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2013 21:49:16 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mke2fs: don't let resize= turn on resize_inode when meta_bg is set Passing the "-E resize=NNN" option to mke2fs sets the resize_inode feature. However, resize_inode and meta_bg are mutually exclusive; unfortunately, we check this constraint before we parse the extended options. Fix this by moving this check after the calls parse_extended_opts(). Reported-by: "Darrick J.
