well that may warrant a bug report against e2fstools as the manpage specifically says that 2.6 series kernels support this. I'm pretty sure I remember doing this some time ago, maybe its been dropped from the kernel config of more recent debian kernels? I did some more poking around. /usr/share/doc/e2fsprogs/REALEASE-NOTES.gz referes to debian bug #380548. In there is mention of whether the filesystem was created with the -O resize_inode option or not. Apparently this became default in e2fsprogs 1.39. If you used a default mke2fs prior to that youmay not have that option in the filesystem which may be causing the problem. Looks like you might need to mirror the fs somewhere else while you get it redone. A > > > On 1/31/07, Pim Bliek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >Ehm thanx for all the comments guys.
