Resizing filesystem /root on X86_64

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi there,
I just installed Openwrt 19.07.8-x86-64-combined-ext4 (on an old notebook, with 128G ssd) and I tried to follow this guide:

until # Resizing filesystem, while my /dev/sda2 is mounted:
root@OpenWrt:~# OFFSET="$(losetup -n -O OFFSET /dev/loop0)"
root@OpenWrt:~# losetup -o ${OFFSET} /dev/loop1 /dev/sda2
losetup: failed to parse offset: '/dev/loop1': Invalid argument

Where I'm wrong with it? Thank you

Here is the situation:

/dev/root            ext4          258016     55276    197500  22% /
tmpfs                tmpfs        4039192      4452   4034740   0% /tmp
/dev/sda1            ext4           16112      3884     11904  25% /boot
/dev/sda1            ext4           16112      3884     11904  25% /boot

so, when I try:

root@OpenWrt:/mnt# resize.f2fs /dev/sda2 Info: Mounted device! Error: Not available on mounted device!

May I'd try with an usb-live to resize it?

Please, read carefully.
You need to follow the second part of the instruction.
It is not resize.f2fs, but resize2fs.

root@OpenWrt:/mnt# resize2fs /dev/sda2 
resize2fs 1.44.5 (15-Dec-2018)
Filesystem at /dev/sda2 is mounted on /; on-line resizing required
old_desc_blocks = 1, new_desc_blocks = 7
resize2fs: Invalid argument While checking for on-line resizing support

Then boot another Linux to resize this filesystem offline. :wink:
I can only wonder what is wrong in your case, as it just works for me:

# resize2fs /dev/sda2
resize2fs 1.44.5 (15-Dec-2018)
Filesystem at /dev/sda2 is mounted on /; on-line resizing required
old_desc_blocks = 1, new_desc_blocks = 1
The filesystem on /dev/sda2 is now 72576 (4k) blocks long.

# resize2fs /dev/sda2
resize2fs 1.44.5 (15-Dec-2018)
The filesystem is already 72576 (4k) blocks long.  Nothing to do!

Thank you, it worked! I started a linux-live then I resized, now it is
