For:
Bug 499452 - error found with fsck after resizing during live image
creation
due to an error handling bug in the extents code in e2fsprogs, trying to
resize to a too-small value could corrupt the filesystem. The livecd
process does a binary search between 0 and the current fs size when it's
looking for the smallest possible resize, so there are a few opportunities
to hit this ... :(
Rather than mess with the extents code in the 11th hour, however, I've
added a patch which fixes the minimum resize calculation (which should
have enough padding so that resizing to that value won't fail), and added
a check to ensure that we don't even try to resize to a size below that.
It's worked in my livecd testing.
This may also resolve
Bug 501000 - FSError: filesystem check failed: 8
but since there was no output from fsck there, it's hard to know for sure.
Thanks,
-Eric
