The main "offending" feature is resize_inode. I spent a while the other
day trying to beat support for this feature into libparted, but it's not
easy work. I may get there, or I may not ...
One thought I had was that perhaps partman could detect the presence of
unsupported features and degrade to using resize2fs instead of
libparted. This doesn't offer a progress bar in a way that we can sanely
handle in partman, which isn't great, but it would be better than not
being able to resize at all.

This ext2 filesystem has a rather strange layout (newer ext2/ext3)
