I note in our bugzilla that we still have an open bug against the uninit_groups patch related to resize2fs, related to the fact that resize2fs allocating new inodes or blocks will likely not clear the UNINIT flags from the groups it is working on: https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12002 I verified that the code to disable resize2fs is still in the "next" branch, so there is no immediate danger, but it also means that filesystems with uninit_groups enabled can not be resized.
