this is the correct way to resize
dd if=/dev/zero of=root_fs.ext3 bs=1 count=1 seek=2G conv=notrunc
e2fsck -f root_fs.ext3 -y
resize2fs -p root_fs.ext3
replace root_fs.ext3 with the filesystem name
replace 2g with new size of the filesystem image

For ext3 I use (in this case adding 1GB):
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=1024 >> file.image
e2fsck -f file.image
resize2fs file.image
e2fsck -f file.image
