While the application using the volume tried to resize the volume.

For ext4 file system it worked. But it stuck with ext3 file system.




block level the device got resized.

Comment 1 Theodore Tso 2023-01-31 16:01:41 UTC

This is a bug report for a Red Hat kernel, not mainstream.  It's also as a result, an absolutely antique, antedeluvian kernel from an upstream kernel.  Please report this problem to Red Hat, and they will provide support --- not upstream maintainers.

Alternatively, please try to see if the problem can be replicated on the latest upstream kernel.  If it can be, feel free to open a new bug and specify an upstream kernel version in the bug report.
