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).

Transcript of sample session follows:

---
