Segmentation fault when running resize2fs (RHEL4) on 12TBs

I added 8 additional TB to a virtual disk on our SAN bringing its size to 12TB.

The disk is the single member of a volume group (vg00) which then has a single logical volume (lv00) that I'm trying to grow to use all 12TB.

The OS is RHEL4 x86_64 and the file system is ext3. lvdisplay confirms that the logical volume has been expanded to the new number of extents.

I've made sure to run fsck.ext3 on /dev/vg00/lv00 before running resize2fs

When I attempt to run resize2fs (should I be running something else?), with the file system unmounted, it will segfault after a while.

# resize2fs -p /dev/vg00/lv00 
resize2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
Resizing the filesystem on /dev/vg00/lv00 to -1366295552 (4k) blocks.
Begin pass 1 (max = 52136)
Extending the inode table     XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXSegmentation fault-

Should I instead mount it and use ext2online to resize it?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Mike
