Hi Akira,

thanks for reporting this. Could you please try to use the most
recent e2fsprogs ? The EOFBLOCKS_FL has been removed from e2fsprogs
with:

010dc7b90d97b93907cbf57b3b44f1c1cad234f6 e2fsck: remove
EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL flag handling

and is about to be removed from kernel as well, so the EOFBLOCKS_FL
problem probably does not even matter. Though the i_size problem
might be real.

Not sure if it is a known problem, but I've certainly seen it before
with xfstest 269, though I have not had time to look at this yet. So
I guess I should :).

Thanks!
