it would have helped if you had tried to fsck the right filesystem:
        fsck /dev/qubes_dom0/vm-per-dec-private

and if it is asking for repair a bazillion times, perhaps with -y -f
(and i would keep running it with "-y -f" until at least one run
 is completely clean...) 
"how to repair a filesystem" is basic system management.

the only mildly qubes-specific part about it is that the fsck needs to 
be done while the filesystem is not mounted, which in most cases means
the vm is not running.

you will run into exactly the same problems if you try to resize
a damaged filesystem while the vm is not running.

actualy for some constellations of resize and system, an offline
resize is _more_ likely to go wrong.
(it will do the resize on next vm startup, and if the resize takes
 longer than the vm-startup-timeout... ouch)
