Public bug reported: "man resize2fs" states "Optionally, the size parameter may be suffixed by one of the following the units designators: 's', 'K', 'M', or 'G', for 512 byte sectors, kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes, respectively."
In practice the suffix appears to be ignored. $ sudo resize2fs /dev/fujiVG/home 10G resize2fs 1.42 (29-Nov-2011) resize2fs: New size smaller than minimum (5124061) $ sudo dumpe2fs /dev/fujiVG/home | grep 'Block size' dumpe2fs 1.42 (29-Nov-2011) Block size: 4096 $ sudo resize2fs -P /dev/fujiVG/home resize2fs 1.42 (29-Nov-2011) Estimated minimum size of the filesystem: 5124061 $ df /home Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/fujiVG-home 30963708 2438852 26952120 9% /home $ df -B 4096 /home Filesystem 4K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/fujiVG-home 7740927 609713 6738030 9% /home $ df -B 512 /home Filesystem 512B-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/fujiVG-home 61927416 4877704 53904240 9% /home ** Affects: e2fsprogs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1494626 Title: 12:04: resize2fs: Ignores size suffix To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/1494626/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
