unable to resize ext3 partition - thinks its ext2...

[Nicholas White]

I have parted 1.6.6 running on redhat 9.  I would like to resize this ext3 
partition, but when I tried it gave the output:

(parted) resize 2 38162.219 48162.219
Error: Filesystem was not cleanly unmounted!  You should e2fsck.  Modifying 
an
unclean filesystem could cause severe corruption.
Ignore/Cancel? i
No Implementation: This ext2 filesystem has a rather strange layout!  Parted
can't resize this (yet).

the 'print' command gives:

(parted) print
Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0.000-76319.085 megabytes
Disk label type: msdos
Minor    Start       End     Type      Filesystem  Flags
1          0.031  38162.219  primary   ntfs        boot
2      38162.219  76316.594  primary   ext3

Is this something to do with the filesystem not being unmounted correctly? I 
tried to use e2fsck, but it strongly warned against using it on a mounted 
filesystem (i.e. my redhat 9 partition). Can you tell me how to get it 
working? Thanks,
