Strange. Looking at the /usr/sbin/debian-edu-fsautoresize I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work for ext4. "resizefs" is compatible and do most of the job. And yes, the bug is really serious. I had to delete manually some less important files to make space to be able to use lvresize... For not very skilled linux sysadmins a tjener with such an issue risks to be a dead tjener.
