Hello,
I have a problem very similar to the thread below. A runaway file
filled my disk, my machine became unresponsive and then I needed to do
a --rebuild-tree (as instructed by --check in the init script).

However, I'm not using md or LVM so I cannot grow the underlying
partition. It is possible that I will be able to get a bigger disk
and dd (or ddrescue) an image onto it. However, will I be able to
"add" space to the image in order that --rebuild-tree can succeed?
I don't particularly care about shrinking it again after or copying it
back to the original disk, if I can save (some of) the files off of
the disk I will be very happy.
I cannot at present mount it and remove a file (though there are
plenty which I don't need that would free up space) because it
refuses, due to the failed --rebuild-tree.
Thanks,
David
