> I can't get online resizing of ext3 to work.
After some more debugging it seems that the "resize" option isn't
correctly parsed by fs/ext3/super.c. Patch attached. However, I'm not
too sure if it is correct, right now my mount process is hanging in
blocking I/O state, and there's almost no disk activity. I started it
two and a half hour ago... The only thing the kernel had to say about
it was:
EXT3-fs warning (device dm-3): ext3_group_extend: will only finish group
(4194305 blocks, 1 new)
I suspect ext2online(8) is the only supported way of doing online
resizing, and that the resize= mount option is intentionally broken
because of that. Perhaps it's a relic from the early days of the code
in question... But I don't know.
