The maint branch is close to what I hope to release as 1.42.7. It has the flex_bg resize2fs fixes, and is gcc -Wall clean. Please test it out, and let me know if you see any issues before we do a release. One known issue. There still seems to be some resize2fs problems when the 64-bit feature is set when doing off-line (unmounted) resizing: touch /mnt/testfs truncate -s 8T /mnt/testfs mke2fs -t ext4 -O 64bit /mnt/testfs e2fsck -fy /mnt/testfs truncate -s 20T /mnt/testfs resize2fs -p /mnt/testfs e2fsck -fy /mnt/testfs # # Pass 5 errors found: # # Free blocks count wrong (1031374305, counted=5326341601). # Fix? yes truncate -s 21T /mnt/testfs resize2fs -p /mnt/testfs e2fsck -fy /mnt/testfs # # Pass 5 errors found: # # Block bitmap differences: +(1073774592--1073807359) # Fix? yes # Free blocks count wrong for group #32769 (32768, counted=0). # Fix? yes # Free blocks count wrong (1297725793, counted=5592660321). # Fix? yes Apparently somehow the blocks associated with the journal inode got released as part of the resize2fs. I'm not sure what's going on, but this is clearly something we'll want to fix up before we release 1.42.7. Still, it's much less serious set of problems than we had before. - Ted
