This ext2 filesystem has a rather strange layout!

[Kevin O'Connor]

Hi,

I'd like to resize an ext3 partition.  My partition table looks like:


address@hidden sbin]# ./parted /dev/hda print
Warning: Unable to determine if partitions are mounted via /proc/mounts or 
/etc/mtab.
Make sure you don't attempt to resize or modify mounted file systems.  (Even
read-only mounted)
Ignore/Cancel? ignore                                                     
Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0.000-156334.500 megabytes

2        101.975  80097.517  primary   ext3        
3      80097.517 155308.073  primary   ext3        
4     155308.074 156327.824  extended              lba
5     155308.104 156327.824  logical   linux-swap  
Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary.             


But when I try to resize I get this odd error message:


address@hidden sbin]# ./parted /dev/hda print 3
...
No Implementation: This ext2 filesystem has a rather strange layout!  Parted 
can't
resize this (yet).


Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I'm using parted-1.6.6:

address@hidden sbin]# ./parted --version
GNU Parted 1.6.6

Thanks,
-Kevin
