Resizing a NTFS partition does not require any writing to be made.  It
is also far easier than (coding wise) creating a way to write to NTFS
(without corruption that is).

To read more (and see that the resize tool is stable) check out the
NTFS-Sourceforge page at
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/status.html#ntfstools

Hope this helps,
