e2fsprogs is clearly not designed to scale, guess it's time to switch to btrfs -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to e2fsprogs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/455024 Title: resize2fs: memory allocation failed while trying to resize Status in e2fsprogs package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: e2fsprogs When I try to resize a big EXT3 filesystem on a RAID5 (/dev/md0) from 5TB to 7TB i get this output: # resize2fs -p /dev/md0 resize2fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009) Resizing the filesystem on /dev/md0 to 1709329888 (4k) blocks.

Note: Im using Ubuntu Hardy due to its LTS. But I installed the packages from Karmic, because they had no special dependencies, I could install them without any problem. The message above is from this updated e2fsprogs version (note the version). I get the exactly same message from the original e2fsprogs, except the last two lines (Please run...). I use 4KB Blocks, so EXT3 should be able to address 8TB...
