That resize2fs command operates on filesystems, not partitions. So, I would expect the free space to be found in whatever contained that filesystem such as a logical volume or a partition. Now you need to reduce the size of that container, and it's not always so easy to do with the basic utilities IMO. I prefer the easy way and use a specialized application for manipulating partitions (e.g., gparted) and logical volumes (e.g., system-config-lvm) wherever possible. But you're into it this way now. Try posting something about the partition layout for your readers to look at. Maybe someone will be able to think of what you should do next.
