You've probably hit the gfs_grow bug described in bz #434962 (436383)
and the gfs_fsck bug described in 440897 (440896).  My apologies if
you can't read them; permissions to individual bugzilla records are
out of my control.  It's not guaranteed to be your problem, but it
sounds similar.

The fixes are available in the recently released RHEL5.2, although
I don't know when they'll hit Centos.  The fixes are also available
in the latest cluster git tree if you want to compile/install them
from source code yourself.  Documentation for doing this can
be found at: http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/wiki/ClusterGit
