A problem with parted, i want to resize one of my partition.

[Kent Nyberg]

Hello to you all,

When i first set up this computer i thought i would need a windows
partition, so i took 27gb of my 80gb drive and devoted them to a vfat-
partition. Now i have no use for windows and that partition. I could
always just use mkfs to create an ext3-partition there, but i want to
resize my main ext3-partition to include that space.
I deleted the vfat and booted with the Fedora rescue-cd.

I made sure that no parition i would use is mounted, and started parted.
Now, when i try to either move or resize i get a message about
"filesystem has incompatible features enabled". What are these features,
and how do i disable them?
I cant tell what kernel i created my ext3-partition with, although it
might be Fedore 1 or something. Lat night i read a bit of the parted
mailinglist and it seems that 'tune2fs -O ^dir_index /dev/partition' is
needed to disable one of the features parted does not work with, but
that did not help, i still got the message about incompatible features.

Can some one enlighten me about this?
