Hi,

Has anybody written an utility which allow to resize the ext2 filesystem?
It seems to be easy to resize the ext2 filesystem if its basic parameters
Block size
Fragment size
Blocks per group
Fragments per group
Inodes per group
Inode blocks per group
become unchanged.

My second question concerns bad blocks. Is there any safe way to use the ext2
filesystem with descriptor/bitmap/inode blocs beeing bad, or just force
a whole group to be unused (untouched) ?

I assume, that bad blocks are stable and their number does not increase.

Regards
