Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: Don't error on resizing FS to same size
Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2011 21:04:34 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111117210433.GA1817@gmail.com> (raw)
It seems overly harsh to fail a resize of a btrfs file system to the
same size when a shrink or grow would succeed. User app GParted trips
over this error. Allow it by bypassing the shrink or grow operation.

Example failed resize:
# strace -e trace=ioctl btrfs filesystem resize max /mnt/0
Resize '/mnt/0' of 'max'
ioctl(3, 0x50009403, 0xbfa5029c) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
ERROR: unable to resize '/mnt/0' - Invalid argument
# echo $?
30
# dmesg | tail -1
[426094.235018] new size for /dev/loop1 is 1073741824
