Dear Nicola,

I can provide a procedure that works for me.

=== STEP 1: Alter backing file size and partition table ===

brunello:~/TEST# dd if=/dev/zero of=netkit-fs-F2.2 bs=1 count=1 seek=2G
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
1 byte (1 B) copied, 5.6e-05 seconds, 17.9 kB/s
brunello:~/TEST# losetup -f netkit-fs-F2.2
brunello:~/TEST# losetup /dev/loop1
/dev/loop1: [0805]:1114194 (netkit-fs-F2.2)
brunello:~/TEST# fdisk /dev/loop1

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/loop1: 2147 MB, 2147483648 bytes
128 heads, 32 sectors/track, 1024 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4096 * 512 = 2097152 bytes

      Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/loop1p1   *           1         300      614384   83  Linux

Command (m for help): d
Selected partition 1

Command (m for help): n
Command action
   e   extended
   p   primary partition (1-4)
p
Partition number (1-4): 1
First cylinder (1-1024, default 1):
Using default value 1
Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1-1024, default 1024):
Using default value 1024

Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered!

Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.

WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 22: Invalid 
argument.
The kernel still uses the old table.
The new table will be used at the next reboot.
Syncing disks.
brunello:~/TEST# losetup -d /dev/loop1

=== STEP 2: Alter filesystem size ===

brunello:~/TEST# losetup -o 16384 -f netkit-fs-F2.2
brunello:~/TEST# losetup /dev/loop1
/dev/loop1: [0805]:1114194 (netkit-fs-F2.2), offset 16384
brunello:~/TEST# e2fsck -f /dev/loop1
e2fsck 1.39-WIP (09-Apr-2006)
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Pass 5: Checking group summary information
/dev/loop1: 21997/76800 files (1.5% non-contiguous), 102736/153596 blocks
brunello:~/TEST# resize2fs /dev/loop1
resize2fs 1.39-WIP (09-Apr-2006)
Resizing the filesystem on /dev/loop1 to 524284 (4k) blocks.
The filesystem on /dev/loop1 is now 524284 blocks long.

brunello:~/TEST# e2fsck /dev/loop1
e2fsck 1.39-WIP (09-Apr-2006)
/dev/loop1: clean, 21997/245760 files, 108044/524284 blocks
brunello:~/TEST# losetup -d /dev/loop1



And then the machine starts cleanly with:
vstart pc1 -m netkit-fs-F2.2 --append=root=98:1

Regards,
Massimo.
