Bug 276352 – sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41.7: resize2fs broken handling of device name

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Matthias Schwarzott 2009-07-03 09:51:10 UTC]

Trying to resize a mounted ext3 filesystem I get this:

# resize2fs /dev/vg2/bilder
resize2fs 1.41.7 (29-June-2009)
Das Dateisystem auf /dev/vg2/bilder ist auf /usr/share/locale/de_DE.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/e2fsprogs.mo eingehängt; Online-Grössenveränderung nötig
old desc_blocks = 2, new_desc_blocks = 2
resize2fs: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden beim Versuch, Einhängpunkt /usr/share/locale/de_DE.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/e2fsprogs.mo zu öffnen

As the output is in German: resize2fs seems to thing the mountpoint of the filesystem is "/usr/share/locale/de_DE.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/e2fsprogs.mo".

Trying the same with LC_ALL=C:
# LC_ALL=C resize2fs /dev/vg2/bilder
resize2fs 1.41.7 (29-June-2009)
Filesystem at /dev/vg2/bilder is mounted on �+�         ; on-line resizing required
old desc_blocks = 2, new_desc_blocks = 2
resize2fs: No such file or directory while trying to open mountpoint �+�

Same result, but other corrupt string used for mountpoint.

Using e2fsprogs-1.41.6 it works as usual:
LC_ALL=C resize2fs /dev/vg2/bilder
resize2fs 1.41.6 (30-May-2009)
Filesystem at /dev/vg2/bilder is mounted on /home/bilder; on-line resizing required
old desc_blocks = 2, new_desc_blocks = 2
Performing an on-line resize of /dev/vg2/bilder to 5388288 (4k) blocks.
The filesystem on /dev/vg2/bilder is now 5388288 blocks long.
