Subject: Re: [PATCH] resize2fs : resize2fs failed due to the same name of
 tmpfs

To clarify, commit ea4d53b7b9079fd6e2cc34cf569a993a183bfbd2  does
solve the problem for mounting a disk with the same name as file
  system "tmpfs". However, after mounting it, "ln" command (creating
  a hard link) and "resize2fs" command still report an error.

example:
dev_name="/dev/sdc" (ps: a disk in you self)
mkdir /root/tmp
mkdir /root/mnt
mkfs.ext4 -F -b 1024 -E "resize=10000000" "${dev_name}" 32768
mount -t tmpfs "${dev_name}" /root/tmp
mount "${dev_name}" /root/mnt
ln "${dev_name}" "${dev_name}"-ln
resize2fs "${dev_name}"-ln 6G

You can see the disk is mounted on /root/tmp, but it should be
mounted on /root/mnt actually. I will modify the commit message
  and submit the v2 patch to solve this problem.
