On a hunch - I tried to get the latest e2fsprogs and compile it locally and run it, but I am getting the same message. So it definitely an upstream bug. I am not sure where to file a bug with e2fsprogs as its page is sparse, and there's not much else up there, other than source code ...

But thank you again Ciro. Your suggestions have definitely helped ...

Please, keep the replies on the list, that way everybody can benefit from the conversation. You can also try ext2online (although it's older than resize2fs). About the bug report, it's fine to post it on the Novell Bugzilla, people from Novell always report suggestions/patches upstream.

My apologies ;-) I can't run those tests at this time as I have to put that server back into production mode this week, and the group that uses it has a big deadline coming up soon ...

So far, I didn't hit this kind of issues with reiserfs and XFS, both fill the use case spectrum for me :)

As you pointed out - xfs seems to be the right tool for this job. As long as I have been in linux, this is the first time I've had to deal with systems with this large a resource pool ... Up till now, ext2/3 have sufficed for all my needs. So I am still learning ;-) I will file a bug against e2fsprogs package and hope that it gets back upstream.
