Subject: Shrinking ext3 partition takes long and high CPU usage
Hi,
I'm in the process of shrinking a 900 GB ext3 partition on a USB2
connected disk using Gparted (0.5.1-1ubuntu3). The whole thing has been
running for 2 days now and I'm curious whether it will ever finish.
Right now the resize2fs (sub)process is using 99% of one 3.2GHz Xeon
core (totalling up to 32 hours of CPU time so far).
Is resize2fs being stuck and hanging forever, or is it just taking a lot
of time? I wouldn't expect resizing to be so CPU intensive.
Is there any way to check whether it is still doing anything and to
estimate when it will be done?
How corrupt will be filesystem be when I press ctrl-C?
Version of resize2fs is: 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010)
Version of linux kernel: 2.6.32-40-generic-pae
Regards,
Marcel
