Note a file system which is significantly shrunk --- which tends to be the case with resize2fs -M --- is going to have files fragmented which will have performance implications. It's not clear to me what you are trying to optimize for --- I assume you're just wanting to save on download bandwidth so you want a highly compressed image?
You might want to consider using a raw qemu image, e.g: e2image -Q /dev/sda1 /tmp/sda1.qcow bzip /tmp/sda1.qcow # optional which can then be unpacked via: bunzip /tmp/sda1.qcow.bz2 e2image -r /dev/sda1.qcow /dev/sda1 You can of course also use qemu-img from the qemu package. e2image -Q is a bit more efficient though since it will only include blocks which are in use in the file system, where as qemu-img is not aware of the underlying file system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1796788 Title: resize2fs: Illegal indirect block found while trying to resize To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/1796788/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
