Bug#358001: partman: please create ext3 file systems with online resize support
Version 1.38+1.39-WIP-2006.03.29-1 of e2fsprogs included support for
online (mounted) resizing of ext3 file systems, so now the default
tools support this feature. mke2fs now support the config file
/etc/mke2fs.conf, and inserting the following will enable the online
resize feature on created file systems:
[defaults]
base_features = sparse_super,filetype,resize_inode

Note that ext2prepare is reported to corrupt the file system, so it
need to be used with caution until the problem is fixed.
