Package: parted Version: 1.7.1-3 Severity: important Tags: d-i We recently ran into the fact that libparted does not support the important ext3 features dir_index and resize_inode.
For Debian Installer this means that partman no longer supports resizing "recently" created ext3 partitions. Copying data from such partitions is not supported either. In Etch, new ext3 partitions have these features enabled by default as they are very important to users (especially for servers running mission critical services). Probably other utilities that use libparted will have the same issues. I'm filing this bug as important as not having support for these features effectively cripples utilities that are based on libparted. I intend to raise the severity of this BR to RC after the release of Etch as IMO not supporting these features will make libparted unsuitable for release with Lenny. Cheers, FJP
