Actually, for such a large filesystem, you are probably using 4k blocks,
so 1024 groups = 32GB...  Still too small for your 137GB filesystem.

I will have a look... It shouldn't be too much work to fix this problem,
and it will be a good reason to release my other updates to ext2resize.

If you think it would be useful, I can make you an administrator of
the ext2resize project at sourceforge, or you could at least send
patches to the ext2resize-devel mailing list...

It seems relevant to ask if the ext2 support in parted can work without
doing any partition resizing (e.g. on LVM or RAID devices that don't have
a partition)?
