And this is your argument that on-line resizing is a horrible hack,
It's an example of ext2 being bandaided to do something it was never originally designed to do. If online resizing had been planned from the start, allocating new inode tables on the fly would be trivial, as it is in JFS/NTFS/...
and ext3 should be thrown out and rewritten from scratch?
Blatant and silly exaggeration. Re-read the thread, and note how many times "cp -a ext3 ext4" was written.
