ACLs shouldn't affect anything.  inodes just have an index
into an ACL table/list, right?  So, libparted can just stop
complaining about finding the ACL feature ;-)

w.r.t. extended attributes, I can't find anything about this
in the kernel source (2.4.2), or in the latest e2fsprogs.
I do remember a discussion on ext2devel (or was it linux-fsdevel),
but is this in Linux yet?  What's the name of the flag?
(Can't find the archive of ext2-devel... well hidden!)

Anyway, extended attributes also shouldn't affect resizing.
Just a matter of ignoring that one too!
