Well, this particular bug is not fixed right now, I fixed a different one.

The 'bad inode number 1' problem happens when you grow your filesystem so
large that the cylinder group summary needs to allocate a new block.

I haven't found a fix for that yet, but interestingly enough, you should
now run fsck on that filesystem, and *after* that, you should be able to
grow that filesystem successfully (yeah, it's some kind of voodoo).
