Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: e2fsprogs

When I try to resize a big EXT3 filesystem on a RAID5 (/dev/md0) from
5TB to 7TB i get this output:

# resize2fs -p /dev/md0                                 
resize2fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009)
Resizing the filesystem on /dev/md0 to 1709329888 (4k) blocks.
Start von Durchgang 1 (max = 14904)
Vergrößere die Inode-TabelleXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
resize2fs: Memory allocation failed beim Versuch, die Größe von /dev/md0 zu 
ändern
Please run 'e2fsck -fy /dev/md0' to fix the filesystem
after the aborted resize operation.

Note: Im using Ubuntu Hardy due to its LTS. But I installed the packages
from Karmic, because they had no special dependencies, I could install
them without any problem. The message above is from this updated
e2fsprogs version (note the version). I get the exactly same message
from the original e2fsprogs, except the last two lines (Please run...).

I use 4KB Blocks, so EXT3 should be able to address 8TB...
