I've downloaded the latest e2fsprogs RPM from rawhide and had a look
at its spec-file. I've found two interesting things in the changelog :

(this part is not a surprise :p)
* Wed Dec 22 2004 Stephen C. Tweedie
- Disable offline resize for now: resize2fs is incompatible with
  online resize, and can result in corrupt filesystems.

and
* Mon Feb 21 2005 Stephen C. Tweedie 1.36-1.2
- Re-enable resize2fs

I'll try to compile this .src.rpm against CentOS4 and see what it does.

Gilles.
