Package: e2fsprogs Severity: wishlist Hi. It would be really nice if you could add the resize inode with e2fsprogs, as online resizing is immensely useful, but sadly most distributions don't create file systems that are ready for it by default.
The ext2resize suite appears to be unmaintained (RC bugs open for over a year), and its ext2prepare tool appears to create the resize inode incorrectly, see #348778. So it would be nice if this functionality would be available in e2fsprogs as well, which appears to be reasonably well-maintained. ;-) This wishlist could also be extended to adding ext2online-equivalent functionality to e2fsprogs as well. Even though it seems that this tool works correctly and is able to online-resize file systems without corrupting them, I must admit I fully trust only e2fsprogs when it comes to the integrity of my data...
