[ext2resize] error in latest online-ext3 patch

[<ext...@in...>]

Hello Andreas (and all),

I just tried to apply the latest version

27832: online-ext3-2.4.18.diff 2002-07-26 13:56

of your ext3online kernel patch to my kernel and found that it had an
error in it.  Seems like it might have been "hand edited".  :-)

Anyway, here is a patch to the patch to correct it:

I want to get this into my kernel so I can at least test on
filesystems where I don't need to expand beyond the 16GB boundary (I
only have one filesystem currently bigger than 16GB which is my PVR's
video filesystem).

I would like to see this all progress past "alpha" (where it's at
currently).  What is stopping it?  Just lack of adoption?  Is nobody
interested in expanding ext3 filesystems online?  Has the availability
of this patch been announced on ext3-users and linux-lvm?  Perhaps we
can get some adopters there?
