This bug was fixed in libparted 3.2
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764558

BUT! libparted 3.2 suffers from another bug: Bug 759916 - fat(32) resizing 
generates boot sector(s) with invalid jump
instruction and pseudo-random boot code

It's crashing with version 0.24.0-1~getdeb1, while I'd like to shrink a
FAT32 SD card partition.

[Bug 1313600] Re: gparted crashes when trying to resize fat32 partition on live USB

[Roberto Costa]

It took me a  day to get a Live UEFI ubuntu to work from a USB stick on
my Lenovo U430 and another day to find a working solution to make a
partition on the USB and make it persistent too.

Gparted got me crazy!   How can I have to return to Windows just to
partition a USB stick!!!

So I found a tip on a blog saying this:  "it works with Ubuntu 12.04" so
I downloaded a Virtualbox image, fixed UI configuration,  updated and
install gparted, and bingo, it worked!

Reading on the Gparted page, you can see release notes that version
0.23.0 key changes include: "Prevent UI hang when resizing FAT16/32, HFS
and HFS+ file systems"...so please update repository Ubuntu team and
avoid all these bug reports.

[Bug 1313600] Re: gparted crashes when trying to resize fat32 partition on live USB

[Phillip Susi]

gparted-0.19.0 does not contain that fix, since that fix is to a bug in
parted, not gparted.  That fix also is included in Trusty and only
affected Ubuntu briefly before Trusty was released.

[Bug 1313600] Re: gparted crashes when trying to resize fat32 partition on live USB

[Simon Dalley]

I've encountered parted and gparted crashing on FAT resize too.

This looks like GNU libparted bug #16338 . There is a patch for it:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-parted/2014-04/msg00013.html

gparted-0.19.0 includes this fix, and will hopefully be in utopic. It's
in the latest SystemRescueCd-4.3.0 which I used without problems to
shrink the FAT32 partition on my kubuntu-live on a memory stick. (This
allowed me to create a separate FAT32 /work partition which is then easy
to use for moving files on and off kubuntu-live.)

Who can I ask sweetly to backport gparted-0.19.0 into Trusty?

[Bug 1313600] Re: gparted crashes when trying to resize fat32 partition on live USB

[Aapo Rantalainen]

I encountered the same with external fat32 disk.

I tried it couple of times and got one more error:
gpartedbin: malloc.c:3695: _int_malloc: Assertion `(unsigned long) (size) = 
(unsigned long) (nb)' failed.


I tested upstream gparted from git (acbf08ce0c291348ba6900d440e9249f842180db), 
it gave different error, so I'm not sure is it affected or not. (Bad FAT: 
unterminated chain for \FSCK0052.REC.)

git clone git://git.gnome.org/gparted
cd gparted
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=`pw`/build
make
make install
cd build/sbin
./gparted




Finally I got partition shrank with:
sudo dosfsck -w -r -l -a -v -t /dev/sdc1
and using parted.
