[ext2resize] ext2resize latest 2.4 kernel

[Andrew J. <and...@ne...>]

Has anyone had any luck applying the online-ext2 patch to 2.4.27 ?

Looks like it broke somewhere around 2.4.21.

Hunk #7 succeeded at 1726 (offset 26 lines).
1 out of 7 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file fs/ext3/super.c.rej
patching file include/linux/ext3_fs.h
Hunk #2 succeeded at 460 (offset 1 line).

this is the reject file....

                if (sbi->s_mount_opt & EXT3_MOUNT_ABORT)
                        return -EROFS;

                if (sbi->s_mount_opt & EXT3_MOUNT_ABORT)
                        return -EROFS;


Strange that in the first chunk it removes the if statement with the
starting curly bracket, but the matching curly bracket is not removed.

I am looking at doing an online resize on a 80GB RAID Array which hosts
5000+ clients. So getting this to work 100% is my primary goal.

Thanks in advance.
