Re: [Libguestfs] [PATCH] New API: resize2fs_P
There's a case for multiplying the return size by the block size
of
the filesystem, thus returning the size in bytes. It might make the
API easier to use. Not sure how hard that is, or whether it actually
makes the API easier to use.
Rich.
This multiplication may confuse users who got used to "normal"
resize2fs
-P behavior (blocks) due to the name of API command.
I'm going to implement similar functionality for other filesystems
(ntfs, btrfs, xfs).
I think we should preserve original command's behavior (well-documented,
obviously!) and leave the conversion between blocks, megabytes, etc to user.
Maybe (later) we could implement aggregated call (getMinFsSizeInBytes())
to perform all this conversions.
