+[PATCH] resize2fs: relax requirements for -P output a bit
+
+Requiring an immediate pre-fsck before printing a minimum
+resize size seems a bit draconian; if the fs isn't clean or marked
+with error, then certainly, but for an informational minimum
+size, I don't think we need to require a fsck since last mount.
+
+I had simply copied the checks from the actual resize path,
+previously.
+
+Installers use this option (-P) to gather minimum resize info,
+and requiring an actual fsck before use just seems to go too far.
