            Bug ID: 60667
           Summary: resizing ext4 with small block size corrupts
                    filesystem
           Product: File System
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 3.10.4
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: ext4
          Assignee: fs_ext4@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: trevor.w.jones@gmail.com
        Regression: No

I have a filesystem with lots of small files (gentoo portage tree) that I
created with a 1024 block size.  I resized that filesystem and it resulted in
corruption.  I am able to consistently reproduce it by resizing a filesystem
that was created 512mb with 1024 block size up to 1g.  My data was still
recoverable, and fortunately it was nothing that can not easily be reproduced,
however I could not get it to fsck cleanly.
