Package: e2fsprogs
Version: 1.41.9-1
Severity: minor

While resizing a large filesystem, I belatedly rediscovered resize2fs's
-p option to display progress; given that it is presumably unwise to
interrupt and relaunch resize2fs, I would have appreciated the ability
to send it a signal requesting it to display its progress after all.
(Likewise, it should probably be possible to do the reverse, if only for
completeness.)

Could you please implement such a feature when you get a chance?

Thanks!

thanks

The resize2fs program is one which isn't commonly used, and there is no
obvious UI that we could use to signal enabling and disabling the
progress bar.  Sure, we could send it SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2, perhaps but
that would be not at all obvious, and would almost certainly never get
used.
