8 turned out to be a patch to ignore the FS while resizing. While this might be useful for some cases, I would prefer to detect the fs and not resize when the fs is larger than the end size. I vote for not including this patch 9 seems to be a strange partition state from the reporter. I think the solution is to unset the swap flag in parted. > > 3.
