e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdm1 ...
And I can't mount the volume any more:
$ mount /dev/sdo1 /home
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
What am I doing wrong? Am I missing a step of the process?
Thanks!
Dan

yeah, you deleted your file system, then created a new empty partition.
instead, you should have used parted(8) or similar to expand the
partition, then used resize2fs(8) to expand the file system on this
partition to its new size.
me, I'd strongly suggest doing a full backup of the partition first with
dump(8)

Luckily I'm doing this via snapshots of an amazon EBS volume ... so this whole thing was done on throw-away-able backup volume, which can be recreated from the original volume at any time.** I've just done this, and* I've attached the newly-created volume to /dev/sdo.
Using /dev/sdo1
Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.
(parted)
.. but this seems wrong, since I'm trying to edit the partition table not of the partition /dev/sdo1 but of the drive itself.* ... Or perhaps I should this?* (If so, could you give more explicit instructions?)
Perhaps because this is a network attached drive, something virtual that amazon provides.*** However, the reason I've written to the centOS list is because the same procedure has worked fine with ubuntu images ... so it didnt' seem like an amazon problem
Thanks!

So I'm not sure where to go from here...

I suggest you try Parted Magic: http://partedmagic.com/
It doesn't do anything you can't do from the command line, but it's much
easier to use.

Problem resizing partition of nfs volume
I was just shown the solution to my problem, using the "sfdisk" program instead of the "fdisk" or "parted" programs.*** Apparently "parted" could not work because the drive is not really SCSI, and the "fdisk" program is to "incorrect" and was overwriting a portion of the disk.** however, "sfdisk" turns out to be more correct -- although more cumbersome to use.
