Package: e2fsprogs
Severity: wishlist
Hi. It would be really nice if you could add the resize inode with
e2fsprogs, as online resizing is immensely useful, but sadly most
distributions don't create file systems that are ready for it by
default.
The ext2resize suite appears to be unmaintained (RC bugs open for over
a year), and its ext2prepare tool appears to create the resize inode
incorrectly, see #348778. So it would be nice if this functionality
would be available in e2fsprogs as well, which appears to be reasonably
well-maintained. ;-)
This wishlist could also be extended to adding ext2online-equivalent
functionality to e2fsprogs as well. Even though it seems that this
tool works correctly and is able to online-resize file systems without
corrupting them, I must admit I fully trust only e2fsprogs when it
comes to the integrity of my data...
Cheers
