parted resizes the partition, you then need to grow your filesystem to the new site.
post what you did here, along with error messages, and then we can help.

As it happens, I yesterday posted an article about how to resize RAID1 partitions:) (but the article hasn't appeared yet). But, to resize a normal ext2/3 partition, this should do it: 
  # resize the partition using fdisk (or maybe parted, don't know about that)
  fdisk /dev/XXX
     #at the end, press 'w'. 
     #If fdisk reports that 'kernel will be using old partition table',
     #then you'll need to reboot here
  resize2fs /dev/XXX
  #ready.
It's best to resize2fs while the fs is unmounted, but should be possible on an unmounted fs too.
