100GiB is either way to high (for my 200MB / partition) or way too
low (for my 1TiB data partition). I think the value should be less
than 16TiB (maximum size) and no more than 10 times the filesystem
size.
Yeah. I read from the mke2fs manual page that -O resize_inode

Here is a more correct patch. It will use ext2prepare if it is
available, and only if parted + tune2fs is used to create the file
system. It is not done if mkfs.ext3 is used, as the default option
for mkfs.ext3 is to generate a file system with resize_inode included
The ext2resize udeb is now available in unstable. It only contain
/sbin/ext2prepare program.
Is there enough time before the release to get some code like this
added to partman-ext3:
if [ -x /sbin/ext2prepare ] ; then
/sbin/ext2prepare $device
fi
Or perhaps let it depend on

Sorry, but I'm not going to make a change like this in the last week
before release.

This might appear to be a one line fix, but unfortunately it isn't.
The current partman-ext3 source used libparted to create a ext2 fs
with a progress bar, and then 'tune2fs -j' to convert it to ext3.
There is no trusted way to add the resize_inode option to a ext3
filesystem after it is created.

Would a patch to add a call to ext2prepare after the 'tune2fs -j' in
partman-ext3/commit.d/format_ext3 be accepted? There is currently no
udeb with ext2prepare, but that can be fixed.
Yes, I see no reason not to accept this patch once the udeb is there.

Could be nice, but it can be added using tune2fs after the file system
is created, while resize_inode can not be added after the file system
is created, so I believe it should have higher priority than
dir_index. I'm not saying that

As explained in bug #341703, the Linux kernel has supported online

it possible to increase the file systems without umounting them, a
