tags 358001 - patch thanks An alternative to providing ext2prepare is to remove tune2fs. If /sbin/tune2fs isn't available, partman-ext3 will use the code path calling mkfs.ext3, and thus generate file systems with the resize_inode option enabled.
I'm testing this approach now in debian-ed, because my initial testing with ext2prepare gave me fsck problems with the small /boot/ partition used in the workstation profile. The progress bar when using mkfs.ext3 is not very accurate nor very fine grained, but I prefer correct over nice if I have to make that choice, and hope someone can get patches into mkfs.ext3 to support a better progress bar. I am removing the 'patch' tag because I believe the patch I provided is unsafe until ext2prepare is improved to not mess up small file systems.
