You *can* do this, but you have to understand what is happening. First

done, then the filesystem can be expanded.
I didn't know this was possible. Do you use a partition editor like
GParted, erase the first partition, move the starting point of partition
#2 to the beginning and then use resize2fs afterwards? I didn't know
resize2fs would do that whole movement. Can it do it online
(filesystem mounted?
I think you misunderstood what I said. gparted will do that, but it's
not really something you would want to do, at least for a partition this
big and data you care about. resizefs cannot move the starting point of
the filesystem, only the end. gparted has to copy the entire 881GB of
partition data from where it is to the new position. Then it will call
resizefs to adjust the filesystem end.
