I've logged bug #956038 for the failure of resize2fs to check the maximum size of the filesystem.

The workaround is to allocate the maximum number of resize blocks with:

mkfs.ext4 -J size=128 -E resize=4294967295 -F tiny

The '2^32-1' number is to workaround faults in older versions of 'mke2fs'.

This is at a cost of about 29k blocks on the filesystem or about 11%.
