Resierfs Resize -> Corrupt bitmap.

["Russell Sears" <sears@eecs.berkeley.edu>]

I used parted to resize my reiserfs partion from 20Gig to 29Gig, and ran 
reiserfsck afterwards, just in case.  I got the messages that I pasted 
into the bottom.  (Basicly, resize corrupted the bitmap, and reiserfsck 
--fix-fixable fixed it.)

I'm using the following versions of software, on Debian testing (Really 
on a verison of Morphix):
parted       1.6.6-3.1
reiserfsprog 3.6.11-1.1
libreiserfs0 0.3.0.4-1

I have a patched 2.4.24 kernel:
supermount-1.2.11
bootsplash-3.0.7
xattr-0.8.65
acl-0.8.65
nfsacl-0.8.65
Kernel-Win4Lin3-2.4.24 / mki-adapter
knoppix-kernel
linux-2.4.24-ntfs-2.1.6a

And the following third party modules:
cloop
loop-aes
translucency
madwifi

My hardware is:
IBM Thinkpad R40.  The drive is an 80Gig Maxtor in a firewire case. 
parted sees it as 80Gig, but fdisk / cfdisk sees it as 60 gig. 
Apparently, I'm only using the first 60 gig of the drive.  The drive 
must have been incorrectly detected as a 60Gig drive years ago, on a 
normal IDE controller.

Parted said this after the resize:

Using /dev/sdb
Information: The operating system thinks the geometry on /dev/sdb is 
7473/255/63.  Therefore, cylinder 1024 ends at 8032.499M.
(parted) print
Disk geometry for /dev/sdb: 0.000-58623.468 megabytes
Disk label type: msdos

6      37166.032  58619.992  logical   ext3


If there's any more information you would like, please CC to me, as I'm 
not on this list.


Thanks,
Rusty
