# mkfs.ext4 /dev/loop0 100M # adjust if necessary, should be less than
partition size
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
8193, 24577, 40961, 57345, 73729
(pick one)
# mount -t ext4 -o sb=40961 /dev/loop0 /media/
# resize2fs /dev/loop0
resize2fs 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)
Filesystem at /dev/loop0 is mounted on /media; on-line resizing required
old_desc_blocks = 1, new_desc_blocks = 4
Now, depending on your luck, various things may happen. resize2fs may hang.
You might see BUG() in your dmesg. Either way, system will become
severely corrupted (as indicated by fsck). You won't be able to mount
it, either.
