 For:

  Bug 499452 -  error found with fsck after resizing during live image
 creation

 due to an error handling bug in the extents code in e2fsprogs, trying to
 resize to a too-small value could corrupt the filesystem.  The livecd
 process does a binary search between 0 and the current fs size when it's
 looking for the smallest possible resize, so there are a few opportunities
 to hit this ... :(

 Rather than mess with the extents code in the 11th hour, however, I've
 added a patch which fixes the minimum resize calculation (which should
 have enough padding so that resizing to that value won't fail), and added
 a check to ensure that we don't even try to resize to a size below that.

 It's worked in my livecd testing.

 This may also resolve

  Bug 501000 -  FSError: filesystem check failed: 8

 but since there was no output from fsck there, it's hard to know for sure.

 Thanks,
 -Eric
