Just FYI the problem is solved, the following is my response to the bz
and my e2fsck patch should be on the list by now.
Patrick,
turns out that the fact that you specified -g4096 made the ratio of
metadata+reserved metadata to block in group so small that e2fsprogs
decided it was better to use meta_bg instead.
Unfortunately it did not remove the resize_inode feature (which is
incompatible with meta_bg) which led to this problem. The good news is
that this was fixed upstream with the latest release 1.44.3 with commit:
commit 42e77d5db53e3ec09b5dc507169d15de219799e3 Author: Jan Kara
libext2fs: don't create filesystems with meta_bg and resize_inode
ext2fs_initialize() may end up enabling meta_bg feature for
filesystem which have resize_inode. Such combination is invalid to
make sure we disable resize_inode when enabling meta_bg.
Unfortunately e2fsck still fails to recognize that this combination is
not valid and will attempt to recreate the resize_inode. This needs to
be fixed. Meanwhile you can remove the resize_inode yourself by using
tune2fs
tune2fs -O ^resize_inode <device>
then you'll need to run e2fsck to free the blocks resize_inode had
allocated.
However in your case, having suboptimal fs layout because of -g4096 I'd
recommend recreating the file system. This time I'd also recommend to
leave it to defaults unless you really know exactly what you're doing
and how it's going to affect the functionality and performance.
Thanks!
