Subject: ext4 filesystem corruption (resize2fs bug)

Hi,

Apologies for posting to the kernel mailing list, I'm trying to get the attention of the maintainer of e2fsprogs (tried emailing him directly a few times but never received a reply).

Almost 2 years ago I filed a bug against resize2fs that causes massive filesystem corruption (https://github.com/tytso/e2fsprogs/issues/146).
An e2image causing the bug was attached. Analysis and patch was also attached.

Other users seem to hit the same problem from time to time, but the bug is still there, untouched.
Considering the nature of the issue, I was wondering if there's anything that can be done to get somebody to look at it at some point?

Thanks
Andrea Biardi
