libstorage already uses external tools to resize the filesystem. parted in openSUSE has a patch to allow disabling its own filesystem resize code. One exception here is FAT. At least in dosfstools there is no program for resizing. > Honestly I don't know if libstorage also uses 'parted move' nor I'm > aware of any other tool which needs it. No, libstorage does not use the move command.
