i agree. i haven't done timings yet, all the units i could do them on are on a runin suspend resume test. also, i don't see the advantage to doing the resize in initramfs, because that would delay booting. i think it should be done with the system up and running. i gather it is an interruptible process. daniel notes in #10040 that he will investigate how safe ext4 online resize is. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
