ioctl('/mnt/sdf2/.fstransform.loop.10941', BLKGETSIZE64): Invalid argument

Trying to convert +3TB NTFS to EXT4. Initially the problem was fsconvert ERROR: error opening loop-file '(null)': Bad address trying to contnue a job that was interrupted by a system restart.

Following the guide I got stuck at point 12. The error shown in console is:

sudo /usr/sbin/fsremap -n -q --resume-job=1 --cmd-umount=/bin/umount -- /mnt/sdf2/.fstransform.loop.10941 fsremap: resuming job 1, persistence data and logs are in '/var/tmp/fstransform/fsremap.job.1' ERROR: failed device fstat('/mnt/sdf2/.fstransform.loop.10941'), **re-run with option '-f' if you want to continue anyway (AT YOUR OWN RISK): Block device required**

adding -f:

sudo /usr/sbin/fsremap -n -q -f --resume-job=1 --cmd-umount=/bin/umount -- /mnt/sdf2/.fstransform.loop.10941 fsremap: resuming job 1, persistence data and logs are in '/var/tmp/fstransform/fsremap.job.1' WARN: WARNING: failed device fstat('/mnt/sdf2/.fstransform.loop.10941'), continuing AT YOUR OWN RISK due to '-f': Block device required **ERROR: error in device ioctl('/mnt/sdf2/.fstransform.loop.10941', BLKGETSIZE64): Invalid argument**

Following an unexpected system restart I had a restart and tried to continue from the point logs noted, but as the loop file wasn't given in the options it didn't run:

fsremap: you CAN RESUME it with: /usr/sbin/fsremap -n -q --resume-job=1 -- /dev/sdf2 fsconvert ERROR: error opening loop-file '(null)': Bad address

Any help please?

As I wrote in #18, the last argument of fsremap --resume-job=N ... must be the block device containing the file system, not the loop file inside it
