I've logged bug #956038 for the failure of resize2fs to check the maximum size of the filesystem.
The workaround is to allocate the maximum number of resize blocks with: mkfs.ext4 -J size=128 -E resize=4294967295 -F tiny The '2^32-1' number is to workaround faults in older versions of 'mke2fs'. This is at a cost of about 29k blocks on the filesystem or about 11%. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/955272 Title: resize2fs fail with very large disks from small source image To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-initramfs-tools/+bug/955272/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
