Just searched around the net, in the vain hope of finding an answer
as to howto mount a resized partition, and came across this command:

debugfs

Man page says:

      "-b blocksize
              Forces the use of the given block size for the file
              system, rather than  detecting  the  correct  block
              size as normal.

       -s superblock
              Causes  the  file system superblock to be read from
              the given block number,  rather  than  the  default
              (1).  If you give a -s option, you must also give a
              -b option."

Might be useful, though I'm not sure.
