 Thanks for pointing this out.  The new version of lvm2 removes all
 undocumented symlinks, so the fact that there was a symlink for a
 non-existent binary is taken care of.

I would have of course preferred for upstream to have added the binary
rather than removed the manpage -- it seems having a very simple
script even, that can parse the -L+8G style resize options (and
understands $E2FSADM_RESIZE_CMD) would be much preferable to having
the user try to calculate two different sizes, supply them to two
different programs, and hope they use the same understanding of block
size, multipliers and syntax (ext2resize doesn't seem to know about
-L+8G, but it is trivially calculable using a computer), and hope that
they don't truncate the end of their filesystem off irretrievably.

If it weren't for C, we'd be writing programs in BASI, PASAL, and OBOL.
