Downloaded and checked e2fsprogs source from Fedora 3
yuck! The FC3 patches to add resize_inode don't add the capability to
remove the feature, and enable it by default. sigh. Haven't looked for
the large_file capability, since the fix below solves both.
<first attempted fix deleted>
Double yuck! Not only is resize_inode set as the default, it is ignoring
the -O flag to mke2fs, so you can't even disable it if you want to...
This is very ugly, but does work (tested here with FC3 e2fsprogs)
echo "features -<featurename>" | debugfs -w -f- /dev/{xxx}
followed by an e2fsck to remove any resize_inode remnants from the actual
FS.
for example, to remove large_file and resize_inode from /dev/sdc1
echo "features -resize_inode" | debugfs -w -f- /dev/sdc1
echo "features -large_file" | debugfs -w -f- /dev/sdc1
e2fsck -p /dev/sdc1
