Due to database loss I file the bug again :( On May 29 2006 e2fsprogs-1.39 was released. New version include some noticeable new things like: "Add support for on-line resizing to resize2fs." (AFAIR it's currently disabled, and suppresed by ext2resize, maybe time to enable it?) or fixes bugs like: "Fix mke2fs so that it correctly creates external journals on big-endian machines (such as a S/390)." and many LVM, RAID fixes/enhancements. Also bug #173346 is resolved: "* mke2fs.conf: Make new filesystems with the following features by default: dir_index and resize_inode."
