parted 1.6.9 (in FC2) tells you that it can't handle ext2/3 filesystems
with dir_index enabled.

You can:
  umount /dev/xxx
  tune2fs -O^dir_index /dev/xxx
  parted
  tune2fs -O dir_index /dev/xxx
  e2fsck -D /dev/xxx

You don't have to do the e2fsck; the directories will be re-indexed on
the fly IIRC, but you may just want to go ahead and do it rather than
have the overhead later.
