Generally when resizing a partition, it is important to do things in correct sequense. For downsizing, you first shrink the file system and then reduce the size of the partition. For upsizing, you first increase the size of the partition and then enlarge the file system.
In your case the partition your file system is reduced but your partition is not, and now you have changed your mind and want to go back to how it was initially. This means that there is nothing that needs to be done with the partition, only the file system. This can be done with the resize2fs command (run this from a boot disk/live cd, I am not sure if ext3 supports live resizing). By default if you do not give a specific size resize2fs will fill the file system to cover the whole partition it is contained in, which is exactly what you want. You can get the latest version of resize2fs from http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/. BR Håkon Løvdal
