Bug Description

I launched a cloud-image of precise on openstack and saw in cloud-init log:

011-10-24 17:12:45,578 - cc_resizefs.py[DEBUG]: resizing root filesystem (type=ext4, maj=253, min=1)

This is reproducible well after boot, with:
$ sudo resize2fs /dev/vda1
resize2fs 1.42-WIP (9-Oct-2011)
Filesystem at /dev/vda1 is mounted on /; on-line resizing required
old_desc_blocks = 1, new_desc_blocks = 1

Note a few things:
a.) /dev/vda has has been grown during first boot, its partition table rewritten
GROWROOT: CHANGED: partition=1 start=16065 old: size=4176900 end=4192965 new: size=20948760,end=20964825

   $ sudo sfdisk -g /dev/vda
   /dev/vda: 20805 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors/track
   $ sudo sfdisk -l -uS /dev/vda

   Disk /dev/vda: 20805 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors/track
   Warning: The partition table looks like it was made
     for C/H/S=*/255/63 (instead of 20805/16/63).
   For this listing I'll assume that geometry.
   Units = sectors of 512 bytes, counting from 0

      Device Boot Start End #sectors Id System
   /dev/vda1 * 16065 20964824 20948760 83 Linux
   /dev/vda2 0 - 0 0 Empty
   /dev/vda3 0 - 0 0 Empty
   /dev/vda4 0 - 0 0 Empty

b.) this does not occur for the ext3 (not ext4) filesystem on /dev/vdb
c.) this same error does not occur on oneiric

more info. I booted an oneiric system with userdata containing :
#cloud-config
cloud_init_modules:
- bootcmd
- set_hostname
- update_hostname
- update_etc_hosts
- rsyslog
- ssh

Essentially that stops cloud-init from doing the resize2fs on boot, so I can subsequently install other packages and try. Heres what I found, after install e2fsprogs, e2fslibs, libcom, libss2 of the appropriate versions:

debian e2fsprogs: 1.42~WIP-2011-10-16-1
precise e2fsprogs: 1.42~WIP-2011-10-09-1ubuntu1
oneiric e2fsprogs: 1.41.14-1ubuntu3

So, this seems to be squarely a regression in the ubuntu delta from debian *and* the ubuntu deleta oneiric -> precise.

Just noticed i was not comparing ubuntu version to debian version of the same. We're behind debian by 7 days in a WIP snapshot, that changelog contained:

e2fsprogs (1.42~WIP-2011-10-16-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release
* Fix online resizing with resize2fs (Closes: #644989)

So, we need that.

This bug was fixed in the package e2fsprogs - 1.42~WIP-2011-10-16-1ubuntu1

---------------
e2fsprogs (1.42~WIP-2011-10-16-1ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable, remaining changes:
    - debian/control: Do not build-depend on dietlibc-dev, which is universe.
    - debian/rules:
      + Do now allow pkg-create-dbgsym to operate on this package.
  * fix online resizing bug (LP: #880984)
