Subject: Re: resize2fs: Should never happen: resize inode corrupt! - lost key
 inodes

Thanks for the tip about XFS Dave, I have never used it before but I 
decided to give it a try and managed to reproduce my original issue 
there quite quickly.

I took an old 1 TB disk, put it in a USB cradle and attached it to a 
Linux box running Linux 4.1.0-2-amd64, put XFS on it and created a 24T 
sparse file.

# mkfs.xfs /dev/sda1
# truncate test.img -s 24T

Note that this setup shares no hardware components with the box I 
originally noticed the issue on.
The USB cradle is attached to a different box.

Should this be reported in a bug tracker rather than here?

So, again the root inode is trashed.
