What architecture and kernel version were you using this on? I'm not
sure how you got the first error message since the code looks like this:
if ((errno != ENOTTY) && (errno != EINVAL)) {
if (errno == EPERM)
com_err(program_name, 0,
_("Permission denied to resize filesystem"));
else
com_err(program_name, errno,
_("While checking for on-line resizing "
"support"));
exit(1);
}
So if errno is EINVAL, it shouldn't have gotten here. The only thing
I can think of is if you are using a 32-bit binary on a 64-bit kernel,
or some such, and there was more than one error code that would result
in "Invalid argument" getting printed.
