Comment 52 for bug 59620

I am working on FC2 (2.6.5-1.358), and using Partition Magic and
DriveImage (referenced as PQ tools below):
PQ tools works fine after initial install of the kernel, but after
installation of certain RPMs, the PQ tools does not recognize the root
partitions filesystem properly (Error #510; The version of the file
system is not supported). I found that these RPMs introduced the
ext_attr to the ext3 filesystem.
Are the ext_attr needed ?
I can remove the ext_attr easily the following way:
#debugfs -w /dev/hdb1
debugfs: feature -ext_attr
debugfs: q

Do I have a risk here ?

Regards
Jens
