But still I didn't get why we can run into this situation, since as you
said, resize went through successfully. Could you please provide more
details about process of resize? Parameters for resize? Logs you kept
during resize? etc.

Hello,

I'm afraid I don't have any logs beyond fsck because I was running all operations off a live ISO and didn't have the foresight to save the logs. I will attempt to replicate my actions on a VM to have further insight.

I started the resize in GParted. It initially went through with its GPT workflow (resize the GPT partition, move F2FS to the left, exact steps are unclear). Proceeding to growing the filesystem, however, it errored with "Mount unclean image to replay log". I initially didn't take this at face value and rebooted into the system to see my filesystem completely intact (regrettably, not taking a backup).

Afterwards, I rebooted back into the live ISO, mounted and unmounted the partition and ran "Check" in GParted. It first triggered an fsck (which suggested it the filesystem could grow), launched resize.f2fs (which went through successfully) and ran fsck again. This is where the fun stopped: GParted freezed dead. I killed it and ran fsck in a terminal with the same args as GParted (-f -a) and regrettably pressed y on restoring lost files. It listed a lot of my files (which I recognized by filenames) and went on for about two minutes before erroring with "Segmentation Error".

I hope this will be helpful. Thanks.
