Error: File system has an incompatible feature enabled. Compatible features are has_journal, dir_index, filetype, sparse_super and large_file. Use tune2fs or debugfs to remove features.
The partition is part of a raid array and there is no way that I can determine from the documentation or online help to clear the associated filesystem information. It would be nice if there were a 'generic linux data' fake FS, or even a 'null' or 'manual' filesystem to assign (also a missing command, no equivalent to fdisk's 'type' operation seems to exist).
All I want to do to 'resize' is to -change- the specified size, the underlying filesystem operation is something that parted shouldn't even attempt, and there should be a way of doing so without parted trying to work on the data within the partition.
http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/faq.html documents that this was slated to be fixed:
" Can I resize only the partition, leaving the file system as it is?
Not at this time. This feature is scheduled for 1.7.1 or 1.7.2, however. "
Online help does not show any syntax hints:
resize NUMBER START END resize partition NUMBER and its file system
