Make sure you use the latest version of the kernel patches that I just
sent out. There quite a number of bugs in the Yongqiang's original
patch set which I tripped over while I was testing 64-bit resize ---
and please note that there are definitely still rough edges
(especially for in cases where the file system was created < 16TB, but
with the 64-bit feature and resize_inode features enabled). There may
also be bugs for the straightforward case of resizing very large file
systems.
So while I very much appreciate users giving the code a try and
sending us feedback, please do think twice before using this code on
file systems with data that hasn't been backed up recently. (Of
course, being good System Administrators you are all keeping --- and
verifying --- regular backups, right? :-)
Regards,
