e2fsck doesn't perform a proposed fix on extent tree
Hi, this is my first post here.
I installed Ubuntu 18.04 freshly on ad SSD. The root partition was the whole SSD of 240gb formatted with EXT4 fs.
After some weeks I shrank with Gparted packaged with 18.04 the partition from 200gb to 30gb.
During the previous weeks there were no problems.
I use the version 1.44.1. of e2fsck packaged with Ubuntu 18.04.
If I run e2fsck, it says:
Inode 8 extent tree (at level 1) could be narrower. Fix<y>? yes
After the confirmation with yes it finishes without errors or corrections.
If I excute again e2fsck it gives the same suggestion ad after my positive answer to fix it I have the same outcome.
So e2fsck proposes to narrow the extent tree of inode 8 but then doesn't do it.
I've found a suggestion for similar situation so I did this:
# e2fsck -fpDv -E bmap2extent /dev/sda1
but after that e2fsck still suggest the fix.
Same with the option -E optimize_extent.
Then I did a defragmentation with e4defrag, that should in some way optimize also the extents as far as I can understand from the documentation, but the situation doesn't change.
Any clou is wellcome.
Thank you
