Well, if you read the context (not shown here), he already ran e2fsadm
and it resized the LV for him, but the ext2online kernel patches were
not in the kernel, so the filesystem was not resized.  Hence the request
to run ext2resize on the (already resized) LV directly.  I agree that it
is preferrable to run e2fsadm when doing this in normal cases.
