[Test Case] root@ubuntu-focal:~# parted /dev/sda resizepart 1 100% Warning: Partition /dev/sda1 is being used. Are you sure you want to continue? Yes/No? yes End? [42.9GB]? free(): invalid pointer Aborted (core dumped) [Where problems could occur] As per resize documentation: "Note that this does not modify any filesystem present in the partition." "When growing a partition you will want to grow the filesystem afterwards" FS-wise the resize operation won't try to take action on the FS itself. It would need to be done by the admin as a separate step. If any problem arise, it will be limited to the resize functionality of parted. In this case, the impact would be ~ similar to the actual parted state (before this SRU), and one won't be able to resize as requested.
