I don't know, i think not, we just have to make sure that everything is well in sync. I don't remember the details though. > Actualy I have observed parted to fail to format even ext2.

Yeah, me too, but this was probably due to a problem with the amiga patch, and libparted being broken when a filesystem only provided probe, but not clober and create. This should be fixed now though. Also, one of my plans was to fix ext3 partition creation in parted, but i didn't really have time for it, will find time next week.
