For that reason I very much prefer the cfdisk implementation from the
gnu-fdisk package. It has an option to really resize the partition. While
resizing the filesystem within it will usually fail, the dialog goes like this:
Select the patition, click "Resize".
"Failed to resize filesystem, change partition size (EXPERT)?" - "Yes"
"Start location? [Fixed start], [Specify different]?" - "Fixed start"
"Partition size? [Max is nnnnMB]" - "nnnnMB".
Done.
