The filesystem is ext3. When I tried to run your command I got:
baa:~ # resize_reiserfs /dev/hda2
resize_reiserfs 3.6.13 (2003 www.namesys.com)
reiserfs_open: the reiserfs superblock cannot be found on /dev/hda2.
resize_reiserfs: cannot open '/dev/hda2': Success
Aborted
I do not know if ext3 and reiser are the same -- if so, perhaps I must boot
from a cd and do this? This is my / filesystem so of course it is mounted.
