Cannot resize Google Cloud persistent disk












0















I'm trying to resize an Ext4 Google Cloud persistent disk from 14TB to 15 TB. I have an instance running Centos6. I increased the size of the disk in the cloud console. Now when I unmount the disk and try to run resize2fs it fails with this this error:



sudo resize2fs /dev/sdb
resize2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
resize2fs: Filesystem has unsupported feature(s) while trying to open
/dev/sdb
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.


Any ideas or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

  • Most likely the file system that you want to resize is not the disk device /dev/sdb but instead a partition on the device like /dev/sdb1. The command fdisk -l will list your disk partitions. Another possibility is that the file system is not EXT2. You would then need to use a file sytem resize command for that type of file system.

  • It doesn't look like it is partitioned from the result of fdisk. It is definitely EXT4.

  • I overlooked the TB part of your question. MBR partitioned disks cannot be larger than 2 TB, so this must be raw formatted (e.g. no partition table). How are you sure that this is EXT4? How did you put a file sytem on this disk previously? You are very close to the max size for EXT4, so I would make sure that I have a backup in case you break the file system.

  • I've been using the partition for the past 4 months. I formatted it with: sudo mkfs.ext4 -m 0 -F -E lazy_itable_init=0,lazy_journal_init=0,discard /dev/sdb
