First of all, every new feature of ext3 requires an e2fsprogs upgrade. That has applied in the past to features like large file support, EA/ACLs, htree directories and sparse superblocks. It now applies to the online resize functionality. This is not a bug. Use a newer e2fsck, or format without the new feature. As for the 1.2TB file in /var/log/, I guess that's the lastlog file. That's a sparse file which contains one entry for each user, and if you have a large uid (typically the nobody or nfsnobody user), that creates a block near the end of the file. So the file's size as reported by ls -l looks large; but the amount of space it occupies, as shown by "du", will be small. This, too, is not a bug. |
