Hi All;
I used parted to shrink my filesystem and partition to 6293463 block from
8122865 blocks BUT only the partition got shrank the inode table still
thinks the fs is the old size. I tried using parted to make the the
partition big again but it would do it because the fs is unhappy, e2fschk is
unhappy , it can't write where it wants, ext2resize won't work complaining
about the size issue.
any ideas?

you only marked the partition for shrinkage. you still need to shrink the
file system.

on reiserfs use resize_reiserfs.
