Re: Resizing ext2 and ext2

[Jonathan Reed]

This is the same problem I sent mail about a while back.  (sometime 
last month).  It seems to be related to sparse superblock layout.  I 
found that if you do
mke2fs -O none, parted will work fine.  It doesn't seem to be 
RHEL-specific.  If you do mke2fs -O sparse_super and have a large 
enough partition (say several GB) on any recent Linux, it'll fail 
with the same message.

I never got a reply to my initial mail though, and I don't know 
enough filesystem-fu to attempt to submit a patch.
