  • What about... removing the journal, resizing the filesystem, adding the journal back in again? Commented Apr 1, 2020 at 17:20

    @roaima same problem as using resize2fs directly. The device is mountable under standard Linux but the ᴏᴇᴍ’s Linux kernel (or something else in the userland) doesn’t like it. It might as well be something like a magic value looked up at boot time making userspace refusing to mount the partition. Since this for enlarging why not just modify the integer containing the size directly through debugfs ? Commented Apr 1, 2020 at 22:07
  • @likkachu some features about journaling, but I don’t know the full extents. In order to know more, I would need to find a way to at least put the console on the display instead of the vendor’s logo (since it doesn’t reach the point where it starts writing the kernel’s log to the device).
