Sometimes the user wants to know minimum size for dirty (e.g. mounted) filesystems. In this case, resize2fs -P will require calling e2fsck -f, while "in general, it is not safe to run e2fsck on mounted filesystems". Since resize2fs -P does not modify filesystem, we force it to display (probably approximate) minimum size. --- daemon/ext2.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/daemon/ext2.c b/daemon/ext2.c index 898d066..9ba4f09 100644 --- a/daemon/ext2.c +++ b/daemon/ext2.c @@ -317,7 +317,7 @@ ext_minimum_size (const char *device) long block_size; const char *pattern = "Estimated minimum size of the filesystem: "; - r = command (&out, &err, str_resize2fs, "-P", device, NULL); + r = command (&out, &err, str_resize2fs, "-P", "-f", device, NULL); if (r == -1) { reply_with_error ("%s", err); return -1; -- 1.8.3.1
