"This ext2 filesystem has a rather strange layout!" ext3 can't be resized

[John Lange]

I have read through the list archives and I just want to confirm that it
appears parted will not resize ext3 partitions.

This is parted 1.6.11

Linux Kernel 2.4.26

Slackware 9.0 (if that matters)

If there is a work-around for this _please_ let me know as I screwed up
and forgot to leave room for swap on a backup drive and the main drive
is now failing.

The following is a transcript:

Using /dev/hdb
Information: The operating system thinks the geometry on /dev/hdb is 
14593/255/63.  Therefore, cylinder 1024 ends at 8032.499M.
(parted) print                                                            
Disk geometry for /dev/hdb: 0.000-114473.460 megabytes
Disk label type: msdos
Minor    Start       End     Type      Filesystem  Flags
1          0.031 114470.969  primary   ext3        

(parted) resize 1 0.031 112564.819                                        
No Implementation: This ext2 filesystem has a rather strange layout!  Parted 
can't resize this (yet).
