Yeah. I read from the mke2fs manual page that -O resize_inode set the
max-size to 1024 times the current size. That might be an OK default
for ext2prepare as well. Perhaps it should be patched to make that
argument optional, and use 1024 * current size in that case. Patches
most welcome. :)

Yes. But I am not sure if such patch would make it into etch in time. :)

Are you aware of the -O resize_inode option to mk32fs, currently the
default for mke2fs?
