	I'm confused about this - I though I had seen a post from Robert
Walsh stating that he had successfully resized ext3 file systems from 1GB to
1TB - wait, was that for offline resizing? If ext2prepare doesn't work, how
does one avoid the 16GB boundary limit (with 4k blocks)? I have the mke2fs
patch from the ext2resize sourceforge page, but I don't see anything about
avoiding this limit and the resize does fail if I try to increase beyond the
16GB boundary.

Thanks again,
