IIRC resize2fs recommends running e2fsck before doing anything. Do you have a log of the errors reported by e2fsck? Also, were there any errors in your syslog (i.e. /var/log/messages, dmesg, etc.) > I have also had the problem of ext4 destroying my kde4 configuration files > so that my kde4 desktop would revert back to the defaults occasionally. This has been discussed on this list (and elsewhere) before, in short: it's not really ext4 destroying but more like kde4 not really writing its configuration files. But this is an oversimplified version of the real issues, please search the archives for details. > I am most likely going to move back to ext3 or else to some other stable > filesystem like xfs. Out of curiosity: why did you switch to ext4?
