Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.41.3-1 Severity: normal Doing an online resize of an ext3 filesystem causes an unexpected filesystem check at the next reboot.
Please either *) fix this in e2fsck *) reassign this bug to the kernel *) or at least document/warn the user about the behavior when doing an online resize. I verified this with linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64 (2.6.26-17).
