Avoid growing the file system to an extent so that the last block group is too small to hold all of the metadata that must be stored in the block group. This problem can be triggered with the following reproducer: umount /mnt mke2fs -F -m0 -b 4096 -t ext4 -O resize_inode,^has_journal \ -E resize=1073741824 /tmp/foo.img 128M mount /tmp/foo.img /mnt truncate --size 1708M /tmp/foo.img resize2fs /dev/loop0 295400 umount /mnt e2fsck -fy /tmp/foo.img Reported-by: Torsten Hilbrich <torsten.hilbrich@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
