Not recognizing larger partition |

I used parted to resize my primary linux partition (ext3) from 5 gigs to
10gigs. I had to delete my extended partition, resize the partition to
10 gigs, then recreate everything behind it. Everything went off
successfully, the only problem is linux doesnt recognize the changes. I
rebooted in windows and even windows (partition magic) see's the
partition being 10 gigs now. Also, parted and fdisk recognizes the
changes. Its just that I cant use the extra space because linux still
thinks the partition is only 5 gigs. How do I fix this? Below is the
output from parted /dev/hdb print, I also included the output from df.
I've rebooted several times since the change, I kinda need the space now
so I can upgrade to redhat 7.3 :)
Running redhat 7.2 on a dual celeron 533 bp6 w/ 224 megs ram, voodoo5.
Drive is a maxtor 20gig.
All help greatly appreciated...
