We are validating the use of `-O bigalloc` functionality and have run into problems with it. The first issue is an easy to replicate failure when resizing to an unaligned size. The replication scenario is: ========== # use a device that is larger than the filesystem we are making DEV=/dev/vgData/lvData MNT=/rdsdata sudo mkdir ${MNT} sudo mke2fs -t ext4 -j -O bigalloc -C 16k -L ${MNT} ${DEV} 128M sudo mount ${DEV} ${MNT} sudo resize2fs ${DEV} 148486k =========== The target size is deliberately not aligned on a 16K boundary. Here’s what dmesg shows: [Mar26 04:46] EXT4-fs (dm-1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null) [ +0.006196] ext4 filesystem being mounted at /rdsdata supports timestamps until 2038 (0x7fffffff) [ +22.173913] EXT4-fs (dm-1): resizing filesystem from 131072 to 148486 blocks [ +0.015422] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ +0.003476] kernel BUG at fs/ext4/resize.c:1574!
