hi.
i have an external harddrive, hooked up by usb. /dev/sdb
it came as a fat drive (sdb1). when i realized, i had copied 250 gb to it already. so, i made a new ext3 (sdb2) partition, copied the data from the fat to ext3, and then deleted the fat drive and moved the ext3 it with gparted.
it mounted fine after it was moved, but after i tried to resize it, which didn't work, it will not mount.
fdisk -l

[root@localhost dan]# fdisk -l

In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

lsof|grep /dev/sdb

both reveal nothing.

resize2fs
Code:
[root@localhost dan]# resize2fs /dev/sdb2
resize2fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009)
The filesystem is already 176793316 blocks long. Nothing to do!
gparted still sees the partitions, though. /dev/sdb1 is gone (as it should be).
I'm at a loss. Can anyone help?
