If you don't mind, *my* primary question is "what can I salvage from this
rubble?", since I didn't happen to have 8 TB of backup space available
to me when I did the resize, and there's soem stuff on the FS I'd
rather not lose...

So my big question is "where the F did inodes 129 through 2048
get copied to?", since the root directory contains a lot of inodes
in that range, and every one I can recover saves a lot of
pawing through lost+found later...


In hindsght, I wish to hell I had turned on -d 14 and logged the
results...


If you happen to want to rerun your test with -d8 and tell me what
happened there, I'd definitely appreciate it.
