Hi Andreas,
I've follow your steps, fill nearly the whole filesystem before resizing.
After resizing and do fsck, the files seems OK.
My test steps is as following:
1. build a linear raid ( 1 X 2TB disk )
2. fill nearly the whole filesystem
(copy 133 * "test folders" to this volume,
test folders include "kernel source" + 10G HD video + pdf files + small video)
3. grown the linear raid to >16TB (10 x 2TB)
4. do resize ( resize -fpF /dev/md2 )
5. after resize the "df" result isn't correct, and it will occur error
when "rm" files
("df" its "Used colum" show "114.3M", actually it must be "1.5T")
("rm error" I add after these steps)
6. do "fsck.ext4 -yvf", then "df" is correct
7. copy 30 * "test folders" again to fill new space
8. Do some roughly verification, the content of files and
rm command seems OK:
(roughly verification: "diff -r" to compare one test kernel source
with original, play video and open pdf files)
Now I'm doing "llverfs -l" and run a script to recursive do "diff -r"
for verifying all
test kernel souce. If it occurs error, I'll update later.
If you have any new idea of these error(df and fsck) or any opinions,
please let me know.
I'm still trying to find these error root cause.
Thanks.

What you need to make sure is that when resize2fs is resizing the filesystem that it limits the total number of inodes in the filesystem to 2^32-1. I guess that means the groups beyond the 2^32nd inode will have no inode table at all, which is a bit strange, but something that we need to expect in e2fsck.
