Was this resize done while the FS was mounted?

It turns out that somehow my swap space disappeared in a system migration. This became more obvious as I explicitly tried to extend the fs to a lower limit (438390656), where resize2fs worked for a while, then informed me that it couldn't allocate some memory. Add 512mb of swap and problem solved.. never used more than ~100mb of swap (256mb main memory).
