2006-12-11 22:55:55 Colin Watson parted: statusexplanation The main "offending" feature is resize_inode. I spent a while the other day trying to beat support for this feature into libparted, but it's not easy work. I may get there, or I may not ... One thought I had was that perhaps partman could detect the presence of unsupported features and degrade to using resize2fs instead of libparted. This doesn't offer a progress bar in a way that we can sanely handle in partman, which isn't great, but it would be better than not being able to resize at all.

2007-03-19 12:11:59 Colin Watson partman-partitioning: statusexplanation I've worked around this for Feisty as follows: partman-partitioning (47ubuntu2) feisty; urgency=low * Use tune2fs/resize2fs to handle ext2/ext3 resizing, since libparted can't deal with the resize_inode feature (LP: #59620). -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@ubuntu.com> Mon, 19 Mar 2007 11:41:11 +0000 I understand that eventually the amount of filesystem code duplication in libparted will be decreased, making it easier to fix this bug properly there.
