Wrong file system reported when resizing

[Chris Seaton]

Parted correctly identifies my root partition (minor 3) as ext3 format

Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0.000-38154.375 megabytes
Disk label type: msdos
Minor    Start       End     Type      Filesystem  Flags
1          0.031   8158.007  primary   fat32       boot, lba
2       8158.008   8259.982  primary   ext3
3       8259.983  37197.377  primary   ext3
4      37197.378  38154.375  extended              lba
5      37197.409  38154.375  logical   linux-swap

But when I use the resize command it think it's dealing with ext2

(parted) resize 3 8259.983 25000
Warning: Filesystem was not cleanly unmounted!  You should e2fsck.
Ignore/Cancel? i
No Implementation: This ext2 filesystem has a rather strange layout! 
Parted
can't resize this (yet).

This is version GNU Parted 1.6.3, as distributed with Fedora Core 1.0.
