[GRLUG] LVM/ext3 problem

Have a serious problem with a LVM, .. we tried to extend the LVM onto a
PV, but the resize2fs failed for some reason.

Managed to rconfigure the VG without that physical volume, however as the
resize2fs was in progress, the original file system shows a size much
greater than it is physically.

Tried resize2fs with the old size, but it fails ("Can't read an block
bitmap while trying to resize"); e2fsck also chokes as it complains
about the invalid size in the superblock.

Is anyone aware of a way TO set the proper filesystem size?

	Thanks!
