Just a data point, this behaviour has changed; wheezy's mke2fs(8) has this: > Be warned that it is not possible to expand the number of inodes > on a filesystem after it is created, so be careful deciding the > correct value for this parameter. Whereas jessie's mke2fs(8) has this: > Note that resizing a filesystem changes the numer of inodes to > maintain this ratio. After a bit of searching, I found this patch applied to e2fsprog: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ext4/40554 I am not sure when the behaviour of resize2fs changed, but the patch submitter said "The man page still said it was not possible to change the number of inodes on a filesystem after creating it." suggesting that there had been some time between the code and doc change. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
