I have a problem with partition resize. Parted stops with an 
error from cross-linked blocks. Unfortunately e2fsck 
doesn't seem to help with this problem.

Attachments include outputs from parted and e2fsck.

I have checked that all the files in this partition are 
fully readable and RAID controller seems to be working 
normally.

Is there something that I could do to these cross-linked 
blocks?
