Your error message is the one reported when you try to resize an ext4 filesystem with ext2/ext3 tools. You need to either install e4fsprogrs and use resize4fs (and e4fsck), or do the resize in the virtual machine you are apparently running a newer OS in. --------------090701030004080407020705 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

The resize2fs on RHEL5 does not support ext4.  Your error message is the one reported when you try to resize an ext4 filesystem with ext2/ext3 tools.  You need to either install e4fsprogrs and use resize4fs (and e4fsck), or do the resize in the virtual machine you are apparently running a newer OS in.
