[ext2resize] partition table is not updated

[Richard J M. <ric...@uk...>]

I have used ext3resize to shrink /dev/hda2 from 55GB to 9GB, but the
partition table has not been updated and so the free space is not
accessible.
If I run:  ext2resize /dev/hda2 9GB
a second time I am told that the size is already 9GB. If I reboot my system
and dump the partition table under fdisk the size is unaltered at 55GB.
If I run  KDiskFree it report 9.2GB as the partition size.
The version of ext2resize I am using is 1.1.18 and I'm running having
booted the Fedora core 4 rescue disc.

Anyone have any ideas on how to get the partition table updated?
