Yes.  We patched our e2fsprogs to enable "-O resize_inode" in mke2fs by
default for RHEL-4 (the option has negligible effect other than to add a
tiny amount of space for ext3 group descriptors to grow into, enabling
online resize); upstream e2fsprogs has just enabled it by default too
for the forthcoming e2fsprogs-1.39 release.

Cheers,
 Stephen
