Yes, this has been fixed quite a while ago. :-) Online resize with flex_bg was fixed in 2012 --- call with the v3.10 kernel or so.
Offline resize was fixed around that time (e2fsprogs 1.43), but there have been some bugs with flex_bg and off-line resizing, so I'd recommend using at least e2fsprogs 1.44.x if you want to off-line resize file systems with flex_bg. And on-line resizing is actually going to be safer in general --- mainly because it's less capable --- the scary bits with off-line resizing are things that on-line resize can't do, like shrink the file system or move the inode table around to make room for more block group descriptors than were originally reserved at mkfs time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to e2fsprogs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575542 Title: resize2fs does not respect flex_bg Status in e2fsprogs package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: e2fsprogs When running resize2fs to perform an online extend of an ext4 filesystem, it does not respect the flex_bg feature. Instead, it lays out the added block groups with their normal non flex_bg positions.
