I ran resize_reiserfs -s -1024M on a ReiserFS partition for testing. 
The partition resized OK, mounted OK, umounted OK.  Then I tried to 
restore the original filesystem size, but resize_reiserfs reported that 
it couldn't read the on-disk bitmap.  I ran reiserfsck and it reported:

Zero bit found in on-disk bitmap after the last valid bit.

and said I could fix it with --fix-fixable.  I ran reiserfsck 
--fix-fixable and it fixed the problem.  I then ran resize_reiserfs on 
the same partition to restore the original size with no problems.  I 
repeated this exercise to make sure it wasn't a fluke, with the same 
results.
Thanks,
