It looks like partition 2 wasn't resized at all (the physical
partition... perhaps the file system though...)

Did you resize from a bootdisk?
Perhaps you resized while it was mounted?
Is it your root?

That isn't a particularly wise thing to do...

I would do the e2fsck -y thing.  Perhaps you found a bug in parted,
(or there are other explanations...), but I imagine it's rather
difficult to figure out what happened.  But worth a try anyway.

Can you send the output of dumpe2fs on the filesystem?  Please
compress it...
