The filesystem is ext3. When I tried to run your command I got:

reiserfs_open: the reiserfs superblock cannot be found on /dev/hda2.
resize_reiserfs: cannot open '/dev/hda2': Success

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.
NO, ext3 and reiserfs are not the same, you should ALWAYS boot from some other disk to do this sort of thing to the root fs.

I juggled partitions and resized my / partition to cover a larger area of the disk. However, after I did it, I get inconsistencies. According to t he YaST partitioner and according to fdisk, the resize did happen. According to 'df' it did not.
Indeed - the partition has been resized, but the filesystem has not - there's just a bunch on unused slack space at the end of the partition after the ext3 fs finishes. Dylan -- "I see your Schwartz is as big as mine" -Dark Helmet
